You have shown a wonderful selection of elephants on stamps. But did you know ! There is no 'F' in elephant. For a bit of fun try this one for size :- Answers on a postcard please !

USPS is issuing a neat-looking elephant stamp later this summer (August 12). I’m looking forward to making some covers for this one, which gives me an idea: Would anyone who’s interested in this topic like a hand-decorated elephant FDC? If you’d like one, just PM me your address, and I’ll make a cover using your address on a #10 envelope. Then I’ll send the covers off in August to get their first-day cancel, and they’ll make their way back to you in the mail. If you are outside the U.S., I’ll add a global Forever stamp and you’ll get a neat combo cover. Free of charge, open to anyone who’d like a cover until I run out of stamps!
