Description

Printed on border: "An elephant is totally unable to leap in either the horizontal or the vertical direction, and since its maximum length of stride is about 6 1/2 feet, a 7-foot ditch forms an effectual barrier to its progress. Elephants are, however, capable of ascending or descending steep and difficult places with great facility, sometimes sliding down on their bent hind-limbs." Includes additional text.
