SNAPSHOT: ELEPHANTS #2
Through the years Joanne Wilson worked with several baby African Elephants, including training two of her own. Someone remarked once, "it is all right for her to train these elephants,,,,as long as she didn't consider herself an elephant trainer"!!!!

Anna Louise is still owned by Tom and though i hear she is very well trained, i hear for some reason though, she is the ugliest elephant on the road now. Doesn't look to be in this picture though she must be near 30 now.
Anna Louise is 25 years old and her beauty is in the eye of the beholder
NO' Elephants are ever ugly' they are ALL so majestic and beautiful.
