The African elephant is a remarkable creature. We are continually learning new things about them.
In fact, leading animal experts—such as me—have recently discovered that elephants love to sit on bean bags. Not the small bean bags that were popular with humans during the 20th century, but huge squishy ones large enough to hold a full-grown elephant.
I now believe that at one point in time, there were vast numbers of large, squishy African plains creatures shaped exactly like huge bean bags. Of course, the species is now extinct because, well, to put it frankly, elephants love to sit on huge squishy bean bags. The squishy bean bag-like creatures never stood a chance.
Unfortunately, no remains of the bean bag-like creatures have ever been found. I attribute this to the fact that elephants are very heavy.
Even now, if you see an elephant walk past a human-sized bean bag, they will instinctively cast it a longing look. Wishing it was bigger.

Wow! Good to know. Always an informative read, Mark. Thank you. Funny, now you have me wondering about the imminent extinction of Laz-E-Boys and Barca Loungers in the US, now that there is such an epidemic of obesity.... You do weird stuff with my head.
I don't care if elephants sit on bean bags as long as they don't eat the beans. Elephant flatulence would damage the environment, and the stink would pollute the air world-wide.
