How so? You mean that they cannot swing like a tree? Is that a fake video that I posted, clearly showing an elephant’s tail swinging gently from side to side, like a tree in the breeze? Or will you admit your error in the face of video proof that your statement “they do not move like trees” is wrong?
As far as a zoo, no need to do so; I see them all the time in Thailand when I am there (2-3 times a year, for 1-2 weeks at a time - mainly in Chaiyaphum but a good amount of time in Chang Mai as well). I can’t rightly remember seeing their tails coiling like a snake or rope; they can bend pretty good, but forming complete coils? Don’t remember that...
You are insane!
Trees don’t grow upside down.
