Royal de Luxe's "The Sultan's Elephant"
(Thanks to triggur for posting these incredible videos on his blog.)

Imagine an elephant the size of a three-story house. Benevolent and obediant, it can lift entire vehicles, spray crowds of people with water, and carry not one, but a half-dozen or more riders at once.

Now see one for yourself.



It's like the ultimate in animatronics. And it doesn't stop there.



It's eerie, but at the same time beautiful and truly awe-inspiring.

There's a few more videos on YouTube, including the conclusion to this giant-sized, 4-day-long fairy tale.

Personally, I hope I can see it in person some day.
