Light-Footed Elephant
An electric vibration meter was used not long ago to measure the vibrations which were caused by different animals walking around. To the surprise of most, the tiger, the hippo, the polar bear, the lama, and even the giraffe, were heavier on their feet than the huge elephant. Of course, if the elephant was running away through the bush he would make quite a disturbance, but the fact was revealed that if he chose he could walk so quietly that even the giraffe made more disturbance. /
