Good morning to all the readers of golos.io. This is my participation in the contest held by @ slon21vekaIn the slogan "I picked up the" Elephant "for the relay race" For more information enter here Consultations and rules Said this Let the hunt begin!

Obviously my life is destined to have frequent encounter with these beautiful animals, from a very young I have great admiration for the largest animal in the universe, I am passionate about their intelligence, I could not wait less, I have a cerebellum of five kilograms. The one responsible for this love and admiration, my mother has, was she who gave me a small elephant, at the time of birth.

He is a very affectionate elephant, his name is Dumbo, he has been in our family for 50 years, fulfilling and satisfying our whims, being a baby used as a mordillo, now I look at him and I can observe my bites in his trunk and his ears, although I am also very sad to remember those golden times.

When I was 12 years old I left my home and my family, I traveled to the city of Buenos Aires in search of work, my father had died and I had to support my brothers, the farewell was very sad, my brothers were very small and they cried At my departure, to calm them down, I put my hand in my bag and took Dumbo and left them for them to take care of me.

My brothers knew of my love for my elephant, this was a sign that I would return, with this gesture my brothers remained calm.

After many years I arrive at the hands of my granddaughter Abigail, she plays all day with him, Dumbo is very happy and active, despite being 50 years old. Does not it look like Truth?

For many years I lived in Buenos Aires, I left home at age 12 and returned at age 35, all this time away from Dumbo, however, knowing my love for the elephants, my mother on my 25th birthday gave me a gift. Who can guess what I give my mother when I turn 25? Siiiiiiii. An elephant!

One beautiful, but not as much as Dumbo, to others it is very different, this one can not be bitten, does not have as much personality as my old Dumbo, this is very fragile, In addition, my mother assures that this is good luck, transmits wisdom, drives away envy and helps you to have a long life, motivates us to resist the adversities of life, not to lower our arms.

A few weeks ago I celebrated my 50th birthday, I received many beautiful gifts, including an Elephant of prosperity! My niece Cecilia gave it to me, with express recommendations of its location, according to the beliefs of the "FENG SHUI" my niece recommended placing a small value bill in her trunk on the 29th, it is essential to place her trunk looking towards the interior of the house . The elephant symbolizes prosperity and the good life, popular belief says that they are the ones who open the roads, the one who can disperse any obstacle.

Who writes, the longevity of the elephants.

A little history.

Elephants are the largest living animals in the universe, known scientifically as "Elephantidae" of family origin of the "Proboscidea" although their classification varies according to their species or provenance to those from Africa are classified within the genus "Loxodonta" and the gender of the Asian elephants as "Elephas"

The parents must wait a long time until their children are born, twenty-two months, the child can weigh almost as much as me 120 kg. And they can live up to 82 years, according to the latest statistics, the heaviest elephant in history came to weigh 11,000 kg with almost four meters in height. A true giant!
