But Can The Ones With Really Big Ears Fly?

Scientists in England are attempting to determine if elephants can actually run. Yes, there are probably people out there who have been chased by the seven ton animals and will insist that yes, they can move quite fast. But the scientists are more interested in whether elephants can meet the true definition of running, which is all four feet being airborne simultaneously. The findings will have implications for treating arthritis in the massive animals as they age in zoos.

Stupid scientists. They always have to let the facts get in the way of what the rest of us believe.
