Some weeks ago I posted about the 150th birthday of the Melbourne Zoo and how they commissioned 50 fibre glass baby elephants to be painted by local artists, which were then to be auctioned to raise funds for the zoo etc. Well, after some time on display around the city and environs, the elephants are back at the zoo waiting for the Grand Auction.
Mali is the name of the baby elephant born at the zoo a while back, so all of these are Malis. One was even painted by the real Mali.
I won't be showing you all 50 of the elephants, but just a selection of some of the more interesting ones. In conjunction with the big malis, smaller ones were sent to various local schools where the pupils decorated them. They too are on display here at the zoo, beside the historic carousel.
