As a kid, I had an absolute phobia of these large grey beasts, and I can recall one incident like it was yesterday (and in case you are wondering, that is an entirely figurative use of the word!) I was about 13 years old, after wondering around looking at a tortoise some distance from the Land Rover, I climbed back into the vehicle and looked up to see a family of elephants walking right past where I had been standing a minute before! For a kid with a phobia of elephants, this was the equivalent of a near-death experience, and I immediately began shaking so much that the whole vehicle wobbled for the remainder of the sighting…but there were no tears! Oh no, those only started coming as I got older.
