The buggers however got clever and now simply walks through the fence backwards!

Yep, the first ever wildlife park I visited was The Knysna Elephant Park; Harry and Sally, they were juveniles back then
Back in 95, they were just in a field and you parked on the otherside of a very piddly wire fence, there was no one there, not even a Ranger when we pulled in
Since then we've back every year, now it's a serious tourist attraction and Harry and Sally and Duma are Chuffin ENORMOUS - but still apparantly Juveniles
My main memory of the visit was being sprayed with elephant snot when they'd depleted our fruit supply, then hot-footing it the hell outa there when Harry decided that he'd start leaning on the fence
I've never ran so fast in all my days - not a beasty to take lightly hey
