    Grey as a mouse,

    Big as a house,

    Nose like a snake,

    I make the earth shake,

    As I tramp through the grass;

    Trees crack as I pass.

    With horns in my mouth

    I walk in the South,

    Flapping big ears.

    Beyond count of years

    I stump round and round,

    Never lie on the ground,

    Not even to die.

    Oliphaunt am I,

    Biggest of all,

    Huge, old, and tall.

    If ever you’d meet me

    You wouldn’t forget me.

    If you never do,

    You won’t think I’m true;

    But old Oliphaunt am I,

    And I never lie.

    This map isn’t accurate, for example elephants where used in an attack on Saudi Arabia (mecca) by aksumites, the same guys who invaded the southern bit of the Arabian peninsula

      Careful pal, I’m a mod who rules this map meme sub with an iron fist. Watch what you say or you’re going to map jail, for map crimes. 😡
