Would you go swimming with an elephant?

Question

This isn’t about politics.

Elephants are not the gentle, loving creatures they are shown to be on every animal documentary ever.
If you attempt this with wild elephants, you will die. Quickly and rather violently.
If you want to do this with trained elephants, you are a part of the problem. Do not support any industry where elephants are held in captivity. It is horrifically cruel to them.

That would be cool as hell. Cause elephants are cool as hell. They are probably the coolest animal on the planet.

I've patted elephants before, but that was a long time ago. I want to do it again. I want to look in their eyes and see who they are.

OMG, YES! I actually played with baby elephants once. They are absolutely adorable! I did pet the mom elephant on her trunk and she seemed friendly enough lol.. They're actually pretty gentle and really smart.

EmmaMary · Accepted Answer

@jennz6  I would certainly be up for giving that a go... But what to wear is the burning question... A bikini is right out to start with... So, would a one piece or a wetsuit do the job?

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I’m not a swimmer, unfortunately.

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

No, absolutely not. First, I wouldn't swim with a wild animal. But second, I don’t think anyone should swim with wild animals. They are extremely intelligent mammals, just like us, so are dolphins. Now I know that they were likely born in captivity and couldn't survive in the wild, but I honestly believe they should be sent to preserves, to live out their lives with some dignity. Not a lecture, just my own personal feelings.

No, I have zero intentions of going swimming with an animal that could crush with it's pinky toe. Riding an elephant is one thing, that seems fun. Getting in an element where it has an advantage absolutely not. It's still a wild animal. I'd watch from a distance aha.

dustybiker2 · Answer

Not as an act of tourism. And if I wasn't annoying them. Maybe a wildlife sanctuary where it was more play to encourage cooling a herd down. That would be fun.

msmissydc · Answer

Probably yes. Would be a great experience.  You want it in travel, hobby and leisure or something else?

MinnieMousse · Answer

I would! Just not in a bikini 😆 I could picture a million different wardrobe malfunctions happening with one wrong move and people cheering for reasons other than the elephant 😆🤦🏼‍♀️

GeminiDiamond · Answer

Lol Jen. The photoshop blended into the elephant's trunk and made it look like she has a tail.

I would not swim with an elephant! They could smoosh me. And that's coming from someone who has swam with sharks.

Lynx122 · Answer

Yes I'd love to :) I love elphants. I was in India and I got a ganesh statue as a gift because he's my favorite Hindu god and now I feel some kind of connection to elephants :) It would be a lot of fun I'm sure :)

HawkPerception · Answer

No. I don't care if they're known to be gentle animals that see us in the same way we see puppies. They are giants that can easily fuck us up by accident whether it's by accidentally stepping on us or accidentally drowning us.

Klandestina · Answer

I've touched elephants, even fed them, they are very nice creatures. But I don't think I'd go swimming with one. Mostly because I'm scared, in some cases these animals get furious and with elephants it's not even easy to run.

Danny_dan92 · Answer

I just read the update and went 😟 What do you mean you wouldn’t wear a bikini?

BadApple69 · Answer

Just watched a video of a pissed off elephant. We can train wild animals, but they are still wild. So no…. I think I’ll stick to swimming with animals of the human kind.

Cutegirl06 · Answer

I would, but not wearing a bikini! I'd be afraid of losing it!!

coxoabean · Answer

I'd much rather stay alive! Although maybe sitting on its trunk for a second would be cool

Makeushiver · Answer

I'm tired of swimming with elephants and the constant giggling that occurs when I need to explain that. "the size of an elephant's trunk has no bearing whatsoever on the relative size of my dick.

MisterWack · Answer

Depends…. If it were a baby elephant could be kind of cute and I won’t have to worry about being trampled.

Bricealan · Answer

Well, Jennz, if that were  you  on the trunk of the elephant, most certainly !!! LOLOL

Wallythewalrus2 · Answer

Yeah, I would. I don't know if I'd wear a bikini though! At least not a two piece.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

I would, but it depends on how much the Pool Attendant charges for it to get in!

Jerre · Answer

No I would not; no telling what is trunk would try to get hold of

northerngal · Answer

Ha ha ha... no way would I do that. Way too much risk for me.

Crimsyjo · Answer

Yesss! I'd do anything as a once in a lifetime experience!

AliceGregory · Answer

When I go to Thailand I'll definitely give that a try.

Wiredone · Answer

I might if it was friendly. I'd take @ @mandyfire98 with me

andreasderjuengere · Answer

menina · Answer

Absolutely not. I would never disrespect an elephant or any other animal like that. Besides the elephant could smash me. I pass.

mandyfire98 · Answer

I don't know. I'd probably be too scared

strangeatcircleK · Answer

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Yeah, I've been in the pool with my cousin, Lisa, a number of times. I just have to watch out she doesn't sit on me.

How would you react if you saw an elephant trying to ride a wave with a surf board but it was barely even a puddle?
