Has anyone else seen "The White Elephants of Thailand with Meg Ryan"?
I came across this last night on one of the public broadcating channels, and it was such a great program! Meg Ryan was so real, and it was amazing to watch the elephants. She rides them and bathes them. She also relates a lot of neat facts in comparison with humans, which helps make the facts more impressive or real. Like an elephant's trunk can weigh 300 pounds and has over 100,000 muscles, whereas the entire human body has something like 20,000 muscles total (don't remember exactly). Also, the elephant's life span is much like ours, as an infant, being pretty helpless, maturing in the late teens, and living into their 70's. It was an awesome show!
