This is a request from a Lady of the Nobility. Looking at all of the pictures of elephants has left her really disappointed, so she wants to know what a real elephant looks like. I guess that's a reasonable request. Anyway, go and ask the Lady directly.	★★★ Required Skill(s): Italian Italian 1 Required Fame: FameAdventure 0 FameTrade 0 FameBattle 0
What is a real elephant? Venice - Noble Housewife (By Square) Are you here for the job? My daughter saw a painting of an elephant and keeps saying that it's not how elephants are supposed to look and that they are supposed to be cuter than that. I heard elephants have a long nose and big ears, but I've never seen one myself... Could you find out what they really look like for me?
Are pigs and elephants the same?... Venice - Aristocrat (By Square) Elephants have big ears and a long nose, but they're actually very nice and cute animals despite being so big, aren't they? In the painting I saw the elephant had a nose only slightly longer than a pig's and ears like a dog. It wasn't cute at all! Are elephants actually pigs? I hope not!
The elephant of Tarentum Venice Archives - Scholar Elephants, eh? Hmm, I don't have any idea what they're like either. I do know that there used to be elephants on the Italian Peninsula a long time ago though. There's records that show how the Romans used armoured elephants for fighting and in Ancient Rome they had quite a few elephants for arena fighting. I'm sure you could find out more in Naples.
An elephant going into battle Naples Archives - Scholar This is one of those plates. As you can see it has a long nose, tusks, and its ears are as big as its head. It looks like a soldier is riding on its back. Looking at this it seems completely different from the elephant in the painting you just showed me. I suppose it's wide and stout body isn't so different from a pig's but still...
An elephant and a pig Naples Archives - Scholar The paintings of elephants you see these days depict an animal with a nose slightly longer than that of a pig's and ears like that of a dog's. But, it seems as though actual elephants do not look like this at all. On a plate painted with a picture of an elephant that is said were common long ago on the Italian Peninsula its nose was long and had ears as large as its head, and a soldier was riding on its back.
