The Sultans Elephant in London.

A real unexpected treat for all Londoners and visitors arrived in May, as the French Theatrical ensemble brought us this massive,"walking" elephant. Worked by a few dozen operators pulling levers to operate the hydraulics, it happily moved from Horseguards Parade, where it "slept" overnight, and up through Piccadilly where it stopped for lunch and a refill of water.
The look on the watching childrens faces was precious, even when the trunk launched a real downful of water at them.
