Elephant Parade is a conservation campaign that shines a multi-coloured spotlight on the urgent crisis faced by the endangered Asian elephant. Brought to you by www.elephantfamily.org, the event sees over 250 brightly painted life-size elephants located over central London this summer.
The Elephant Parade Mela and Live Auctions have raised over £1.8 million! Miniature elephants and the official art book are available to buy at Selfridges until the end of July or at the elephant parade online shop.
You can also sign their petition to save the asian elephant.

Viva la Elephant!
They make me smile when I see them – the tigerphant is my fave so far (think it’s in Soho Sq?)

Oh what the hell I love ALL elephants
Eletelephony
~Laura E. Richards
(1850-1943)
Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant-
No! no! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone-
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I’ve got it right.)
Howe’er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk:
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee-
(I fear I’d better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)
