Blizzard Watch never forgets a Friday cuteness post, and neither do these elephants

Seriously, how cool are elephants? The floppy ears, the agile trunks, the sheer enormous size of them — elephants are just amazing. And you can just tell from watching them at play that these are intelligent critters. In this collection, you can see elephants of all sizes eating, napping, splashing, and enjoying some quality tunes.
