Question

What is it like to ride on an elephant?

Benjamin Harrison

Hamilton, Qld.

Answer

Well, Benjamin, it’s not like riding a horse because the elephant’s head is much rounder, so you have to place your feet behind their ears and hold on with your knees. It’s really amazing — because they are so tall, I feel like I’m flying.
