The MSN headline did what it’s supposed to do–it certainly caught my eye: “Escapee elephants visit Seoul restaurant.” The article has a few wonderful details. There were six elephants in all; one elephant bolted during their daily parade outside a children’s park, and the others followed because, “they have a tendency to do that,” according to an official.
I had no idea elephants were such sheep.
One elephant “was briefly detained at a police station.” I hope they read him (her?) his (her?) Miranda rights.
I know elephants can be very dangerous, so it’s no joke when they escape, but all’s well that ends well, and this escapade did–although I’m not sure the elephants would agree. They are now back in captivity.

Now let me tell you about a female elephant I met in Assam. She was Indian and a real cutie. Sadly, she ran away with a travelling salesman ftom Poona !

I must question their taste if it was for the kimchee. You would think an animal with that big of a nose would know better.

I laughed when I read that article too. I figured someone would have lured them back with carrots or whatever an elephant might like - a tub of beer perhaps?
