They are shaped weird. If you happen to sit on an elephant's back, this is what you would see, at least if you were facing forward. The two hemispheres are separated by a much bigger crevice than I expected. They also have this sparse, fuzzy hair sticking straight up. It's on their backs, too, though not as long. Admittedly, I don't know if it always sticks up - maybe it gave him goose bumps to have us sitting on his back. Maybe he was cold. I don't know if their ears are always mottled, like this one's; maybe Indian elephants are different that way from African ones. I'm no elephant expert, though I thought the main difference was the tusks. But I did think the head shape was curious.
