[...] Oddly enough I remember seeing a rearing elephant in a book cover. So I did some net searching... Lo and behold: http://covers.allbookstores.net/c/1127410133/book/full/0136717691
Refusing connections at the moment...
This book is in my university's library so if anyone wants a scan and crop, just ask :-)
And while we're on the subject of elephants and awkward postures: http://www.ascocarhire.com/images/pictsnamibia/desert_elephant.jpg Mighty effort indeed :-D
Actually, this breathes new life into those stories about elephants getting drunk.
