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.
