This is close for me :)
To be able to walk among animals, go anywhere at anytime and it's just fun and beautiful with no danger at all.. I don't think I'd drink a Coke though, maybe OJ :) but thanks for a great commercial.

A Helping Tusk

Baby Elephant Tucker (2nd from left) got to help with clean-up at his Houston Zoo home- click here to see him at work being a big helping boy!
In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, everyone is pitching in to help clean up. At the Houston Zoo, even a baby elephant got in the act.
Tucker the elephant is three years old and has been at the Houston Zoo for about a month with this mother, Tess. Sunday, when it was clear the storm threat had passed and employees were removing tree debris from zoo grounds, the elephant keepers invited Tucker to help.

The young elephant readily accepted and accompanied his keepers to two spots in the zoo not far from the McNair Asian Elephant habitat. He picked up some tree debris, helped with some sweeping up and then went back to the barn to share his experience with his mother and the rest of the herd.

Javier Téllez, Games are Forbidden in the Labyrinth
November 2007
McCarren Pool, Brooklyn

Description:
Artist Javier Téllez brings the ancient parable of the ‘Blind Men and the Elephant’ to life. In keeping with various versions of the tale, from a Buddhist fable to the 19th Century poem by the writer John Godfrey Saxe, six visually impaired people will touch a different part of an elephant, just one part, and then describe the experience. Their responses illustrate how reality and understanding are shaped by perspective and the relativity of absolute truth.

Téllez’s action will take place on a closed set where it will be filmed and screened for the public at a later date. Games are Forbidden in the Labyrinth is the final project of Creative Time’s ‘Six Actions for New York City,’ co-curated by Mark Beasley and David Platzker.

A project of Creative Time.
