Somehow the idea is really great. β™₯
Instead of cows and sheep, elephants on the pasture! πŸŒΎβ€‹πŸŒ±β€‹πŸŒΎβ€‹πŸ˜β€‹πŸ˜β€‹πŸ˜β€‹

Could Germany host 20,000 elephants? We asked an expert.

Botswana this week threatened to lump Germany with 20,000 excess elephants, as it struggles to combat a pachydermous overpopulation problem.

The president of Botswana, Mokgweetsi Masisi, insisted he wasn’t joking about it, but what are the chances that tens of thousands of elephants could one day be stampeding through the Black Forest or the beer halls of Munich?

In short, it’s not very likely. Transporting tens of thousands of the giant animals to the other side of the world would be a tall order even for Noah.
Also, expensive for all involved.

Many newspapers turned the 20,000 elephants into 200,000 in the meantime. ☺
