Can you tell what this it? Stanley went on an elephant ride in Bali and yes, this is the equivalent of your nose. This is a very close photo of an elephant's trunk. Its really big, so big that Stanley was scared and didn't want his photo next to the big elephant trunk.
This is the elephant I rode on with Stanley but he wasn't happy riding on the elephant and I didn't want to show Stanley crying so he's not in this photo either.
The one thing Stanley liked was when the elephant's trainer gave the elephant a harmonica to play while we walked. Can you see the blue harmonica in the elephant's trunk? The elephant didn't know any good tunes though, so he just made some pretty sounds.
I think I told you in the last blog that elephants really like water and they're good swimmers (Stanley thinks that all that fat helps them to float). So we rode them into the pond and they sucked up water and blew it out their trunks.
Here we are, on our elephants, all 7 of us posing for the camera. Stanley is so small you can't even see him. Maybe that's why he was frightened to go on the elephant ride. He felt very small next to those big elephants.
