That's why I said "if". If you're not, then you're probably still trying to work out how many fatigue points the elephants have, and the "but" is of less use.

It's one of a series of "why do elephants paint <bit of anatomy> <colour>?", all based on improbable disguises, and "ever seen one? Shows how good the disguise is." That was the first that came to mind where the anatomy was printable. All very amusing when you're under 10.
