Elephants to the Rescue
Elephants in Sumatra felt the tsunami coming and startedtrumpeting, alerting local people to the coming danger.Tourists were riding about a dozen of the elephants, whichsuddenly turned and ran away from the beach. Others brokethe heavy chains on their legs and stampeded, but somestopped and picked up people with their trunks, depositingthem on their backs, before they ran.
