I don't know where the glass comes from, but it looks more like a rhino than an elephant?  :D :D

I knew it was an elephant straight orf.........that bump is it's little hat like what Dumbo had  -  and anyway everyone knows rhinos have a dip in their back.   See, you just gotta pay attention...........but God knows where this one came from. ;D   Get a couple of lions an you gotta zoo.   Sorry Kazleeb, shouldn't be flippant, I know. ;)  -  regret can't help.
