We just entered the zoo when this fellow off to our right shouts "Move to your left! Move to your left?" A moment of "Which left?" ensued, then I found my slot and Saw the Elephant. (This is a phrase from California's Gold Rush. To say you had seen the elephant meant that you had had the California experience of the time -- been out to the mine fields.)

The elephant, whose name I did not catch, was on its way to a birthday celebration near the entrance.

Probably the wrinkliest elephant that I have seen in some time.
