The elephant can be envisioned tracking slowly and majestically across the ceaseless dryness of a plain in search of a watering hole or the shade of trees. He pulls his trunk upwards. He pulls his trunk outward as he passes on by with a tender passivity to his eyes. For years the elephant has been known as a sacred animal in the East. As the largest animal to walk the Earth, the elephant is known as a symbol of strength and power. In Buddhist cultures, white elephants are symbolic of patience and wisdom. The Chinese see elephants as a symbol of energy, strength, and power. Ganesha is a Hindu deity with an elephant`s head.
