"Didn't have time to hit the brakes. The elephant blended in with the road," driver Bill Carpenter said Thursday. "At the very last second I said 'elephant!'"

Pure comedy gold.

Poor elephant :-( Still, it's pretty cool that, even injured, the trainers were able to calm her down and get her to be seen by the vet. A very mellow elephant, indeed. I mean, if I were bleeding on highway, you'd need to dart me at least three times before I'd let you anywhere near me.

I notice this didn't take place in Alabama. Were they able to get the tusks off?

I have an appointment with a horse doctor. How that horse became a doctor, I'll never know.

I hear they have a real problem with this down in Alabama, especially around Tuscaloosa

S.C. man gets 3 years for sex with horse

This gem is at the bottom of the page and you go with the story about a car hitting an elephant?

I question your decision making ability submitter

"At the very last second I said 'elephant!'"

Interesting choice of safe word, but okay, whatever keeps you from getting ripped by the tusk.

Something similar happened to me. Was driving in Thailand and my wife suddenly said "elephant".

my response was "what?"

"FARK ELEPHANT"

There was an elephant standing in the middle of the road

Her response "what did you think I meant"

Yeah, that is a long time to have to screw a horse. Maybe the idea is he'll get so tired of it he won't want to do it anymore?

Perhaps it's because the article about the man getting 3 years for having sex with a horse went green earlier this week.

Too bad it wasn't in Alabama. 'Cause the Tuscaloosa.

Actually this elephant is not mellow at all. Apparently it escaped once before (during a tornado mind you), and it gets spooked quite frequently. I guess this was one of those occasions.

The interesting part to me is that the elephant wasn't really hurt too bad but the car was trashed. I guess elephants are pretty tough.

Admittedly, this is better than my headline... even if I did submit it 24 hours earlier.

Three thoughts come to mind with this story considering the farming of exotic critters these days. Considering where I live in Manitoba, Canada, there was a flood East of Winnipeg and a bunch of boar escaped; they estimated 200. Well, 2 years later, they shot 200 wild boar and figured the problem to be over. Well, guess what? They're still around; go figure? They must be breeding; imagine that.

One day, when it was -40C or darn close to it, I was traveling on a hwy, also East of Winnipeg and I drove past an ostrich just trotting down the hwy; obviously an escapee. Never thought they could survive cold conditions there are here but it's apparently quite common here to farm ostrich.

Then there's the beaver problem in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

I love you, Subby.

Bathia_Mapes, you'd think if someone was going to the trouble of making an LOLcat of a Groucho Marx quote they'd, say, look up the quote to make sure they got it right. That's just a disgrace.

Have you ever seen what a deer will do to a car if it isn't just clipped? A friend of mine had a deer jump into his car. Trashed it.

Ever seen what a PIG will do? I rather hit a deer, cow OR horse than a pig. VERY solid animals.

A moose will farking tear your car up. Elephant? I'm guessing that hitting an elephant with anything less than a semi is a recipe for a destroyed car. And I'm pretty sure that the semi would be trashed, but that's the only vehicle I can imagine (okay, OTHER than a tank or train) that would have a high likelihood of KILLING the elephant. I'd take the ditch over the elephant any day.

(On a side note, a train will fark up a horse VERY badly. I've seen the aftermath--horse parts ground up along the track for more than half a mile. NOT pretty.)

This was a real danger to me while living in Chiang Mai Thailand. Thais walking elephants around at night and you paid to feed them and take a pic etc. luckily they had blinkers on them...

I like this escaped elephant story video (new window).
