Elephants on the loose
No need to be alarmed by the headline, the elephants on the loose in Southbank are stationary replicas of Mali, the Melbourne Zoo’s resident elephant and they are in town to celebrate Melbourne Zoo’s 150th birthday.
The elephants are sprinkled around the city and at last count Southbank had six of the colourfully decorated statues. One was spotted wearing a Melbourne Tigers basketball uniform, while another was in Melbourne Storm rugby gear.
If you spot a Mali in Southbank be sure to take a snap and tweet @SOUTHBANK_News to let us know.
