Niveau de fatigue : cet éléphant

Miniature d'un éléphant assez raté : il est représenté avec un corps de lion au ventre un peu rond, une trompe trop longue et un œil exorbité. Son œil est dirigé vers nous.
Il est possible qu'il s'agisse d'un mélange entre la girafe et l'éléphant.

Dear Lynda, thank you for your comments! Your show sounds very interesting, I am not sure if I will be in Edinburgh next year but I will keep it in mind. Unfortunately we don't have any recordings of this seminar, sorry.
