Tree-Nesting Elephant
Status: Probably photoshopped
image How did the elephant get up in the tree? I'm guessing photoshop since, as far as I know, elephants are not known to be tree climbers. I don't have any information about the source of this image, but it wouldn't surprise me if it came from a worth1000 contest, or something of that nature.

Why, it's Horton! He's hatching an egg!

I wonder if Maizy will return this time?

yes, it's a worth1000 contest entry. it always amazes me how good the entries are and how easily they spread as hoaxes.
