It's funny how things like this don't wander into your living room for you to shoot at your convenience. 
Au contraire, mon frère!
The last time the "Ringling Brothers" came to Tulsa, there were quite a few "elephants on parade" through our downtown area. The whole show arrives by train, and they stop and brings it all (at least, the showy parts) into the venue by way of a short jaunt through the streets. Quite the event!
And there was no chain or lead on this guy either!
when i was in germany (60's) i would see the occasional pink ones walk thru the barracks.
Oh yeah, and they arrived usually in this!

Yeah, but you missed the policeman in the foreground booking the elephant for speeding.Cant see what your exited about we have loads of 30 signs in the uk

May I ask a newbie question? I am attempting to take pics of pure black dogs on snow. I am getting seriously underexposed. I was using the matrix mode of exposure metering on auto. I believe that the matrix picked up the snow. In this pic if one spot metered on the elephant and adjusted aperture or shutter speed as needed would the details on elephant be clearer as picking up lighter colours and setting meter accordingly? The reason I'm asking is I'm going out to shoot the dogs again this morning.

Use center-weight (focused on the dog), then recompose and shoot. Try using P mode, if not full manual. I don't trust Matrix either...
What in the hell has that to do with my elephant picture?????? Just kidding. Shooting in snow can be a problem. Try what Flugelbinder suggested. What camera are you using?
