Diew The Elephant; World's first potty-trained pachyderm

Visitors to a Thai elephant camp were treated to a call of nature with a difference yesterday, as five-year-old Diew demonstrated how to use and flush an oversized toilet.

The massive but immodest beast had no problem posing for the cameras as he went about his business.

Handlers at the camp, in northern Thailand's Chiang Mai province, have previously taught their elephants to paint, dance and play musical instruments.

But their latest feat is guaranteed to make their jobs - especially those of the cleaners - a whole lot easier.

The world's first potty-trained pachyderm

I never thought about it before, but it must be a lot compared to a Golden Lab for instance.

I don't think I'd want to be around when he discovers that he owns his droppings and he decides he'd like to keep them. Can you imagine the fight an elephant could put up? Maybe elephants skip the anal retentive stage of development? :floorrollin: :floorrollin: :floorrollin: :floorrollin: :floorrollin:

That's wonderful! I had a cat once that used the toilet when he couldn't get outdoors (no litter box then). Sort of messy but the iintent was good. :P

I think Man is the only "animal" that is anal-retentive. (Of course, I use the word "Man" as a generic term, not a sexually-discriminating one. Oh, Noooooo...)

Guess I have potty-trained too many boys :( besides I had one do it in a sandbox once (u don't want to know) which is just natural for the elephant, right?
