The lovely outdoor setting where I saw the Iguanas, as mentioned on the FB, happened to be the Oregon Zoo. The elephant area is very near the concert lawn.

I very quickly replied "just part of the elephant" and ushered her out back to look at the girl elephants. I am such a wimp.

Old joke:
Daughter: Mommy, what's that long thing hanging from the elephant?
Mommy: That's his "trunk," pumpkin.
Daughter: I know what a trunk is, mommy. Farther back, near his bottom.
Mommy: Oh, um, that's his tail, pumpkin.
Daughter [impatiently]: I know what a tail is, mommy. Further up, between his legs.
Mommy [embarassed]: Oh, well, um, that's nothing.
Daughter: Daddy, mommy says the thing between the elephant's legs is nothing.
Daddy: Don't listen to her, pumpkin, she's just spoiled.
