Heffalump herd hits London

If you go down to the woods (central London) today, you're in for a big surprise...
Over 250 life-size baby Asian elephants have been painted and planted on street corners and parks to highlight the plea for the endangered Asian elephant.

The outdoor exhibit runs from May 3 - June 29 2010, and hopes to bring in up to £2 mil. I think it's a fantastic idea and although these are Asian ellies (as opposed to their African cousins clearly identified by the size of their pinnae, ahem) it's also fun to hunt them out.

If time allowed I'd love to hunt each one out, but I'm not sure if that's the best use of my time but I see they've created a handy Elephant parade map for just that!

So here's my favourite so far, hiding in Carnaby street. Get your safari gear out and enjoy the hunt; ah and here's ways how you can help.
