Find his head on the right. Feel over his face, his eye and down his very long nose This is his trunk which is very useful, especially for squirting water at all his friends! Trace back up to his eye and move to the left to feel Elmer's huge ear. Elmer is an African Elephant which have very large ears, whereas Asian elephants have much smaller ones, but still much bigger than yours and mine!
