So much for gorillas…these guys at Phuket have the best mascot in the tri business. If you did not open the front page article, there is Tim Carlson’s photo of Rudi Wild after his win. I love these friendly elephants! Makes my day! It’s almost like the elephant is tapping him lightly and saying, “you OK buddy?”
Very cool

Try this in America.

USAT would DQ you if you get animals to provide any sort of assistance on course.

Ya, I think there is little doubt that the elephant senses that the man is not feeling good and is expressing his/her concern, just like my dog does when he senses I’m not feeling good. Animals are very intuitive:)
Very cool, although I hope that elephant is treated better then most elephants in Thailand that are used for commercial/entertainment purposes.

Another bold proclamation! Definitely one of the better ones.

I think a friendly elephant at a Phuket finish is much safer than a black bear at a Whistler finish!!!
He probably got DQ’d for crossing the finish line with another person/animal.
