Frisky elephant attempts to snort off bikini model’s top
[NYPOST] An African elephant was caught on camera trying to cop a feel of bikini-clad Playboy model Francia James, who was visiting the Myrtle Beach Safari petting zoo in South Carolina.
A Playboy model? Sounds just like a setup. Is Playboy still in business?
Yes. Though apparently it’s no longer monthly, and they recently had a transgender centerfold...
The frisky footage shows James approaching the female pachyderm, named Bubbles, in a barely there string bikini.
I initially thought this was BS. Among Indian elephant the females usually don't have tusks, or if they do, they're rudimentary (called tushes.) African elephants, male and female, do have tusks, though I don't imagine the females' are as large.
As she attempts to pet the 9,000-pound animal, a tusk can be seen wandering around the woman’s torso — apparently sniffing her out.
The writer seemingly hasn't ever been to a zoo. That thing wandering around is called a "trunk."
James laughs awkwardly as she attempts to divert the elephant’s snorting schnoz.
She wanted a picture, but not a topless picture.
"The trunk felt just like a large man’s hand with a high powered vacuum attached!," the scantily clad viral sensation says.
"Mister Zookeeper? Over here! Your elephant has my bikini top stuck in her nostril! Could you get it back, please?"
Meanwhile,
...back at the alley, Slats Chumbaloni was staring into a hole that was just .45 inch in diameter and was less than three feet from his heavily sweating face ...
the Myrtle Beach Safari website says 34-year-old Bubbles was rescued more than 30 years ago, after her herd was murdered by poachers for their priceless ivory tusks.
So the poor thing was three or four years old. African elephants live about the same length as people, 60-70 years. I'm not sure what an epidemic of brassiere snorting would do to the population.
Some thought it was a pretty smooth move on Bubbles’ part, but others are calling the stunt "silly" and "fake."
I blame Instagram.
