"Another elephant I loved was a very ancient male. He was so old that all his skin was loose on his body. It hung around his ankles and under his tummy in folds. His ears drooped. He moved slowly and deliberately, and was quite often by himself. When he rested he would drape his trunk over one of his tusks, as though it was getting too heavy for him."
