Are those made by Safari Ltd. too? They are great looking sculpts.

This is a top notch photo and setup and conveys all the atmosphere of the location. Where's Mowgli?

Thanks Randy,

I thought you would like them and it also gave some more camera practice . The elephants were actually made by Britains, the one on the right is the 1st version (mid 60's) and the other one was made from 1972 right up until 1999 when they discontinued the zoo line.
