This happy elephant lets out a loud long shriek as she playfully walks across the dry dusty plains of the land. Although she is a very large size animal she is as agile and light on her feet. She bends her front leg as she walks and extends her trunk as far as it goes and continues to shriek. Her ears are flap back and forth as she gets rid of the flies. .
