As Gentle as a Mouse. Marjorie, the 3 ton Indian Elephant is as gentle as a mouse

As Gentle as a Mouse. Marjorie, the 3 ton Indian Elephant is as gentle as a mouse. All the year round at Chessington Zoo, Surrey, she entertains thousands of children. Another much smaller attraction at the Zoo is a 3 oz White domestic Mouse, although Marjorie is gentle, the mouse must have been taking one hell of chance when he decided to explore Marjories huge feet today. You could say that they are now good friends! January 1977 P007356

EDITORS COMMENTS
As Gentle as a Mouse. Marjorie, the 3-ton Indian Elephant, is known for her gentle nature and has become a beloved attraction at Chessington Zoo in Surrey. Day after day, she captivates the hearts of thousands of children who come to witness her majestic presence. But amidst this grand spectacle, there exists an unexpected friendship that warms the hearts of all who witness it. In this print from January 1977, we see Marjorie standing peacefully while a tiny white domestic mouse fearlessly explores her enormous feet. It's hard to imagine how such a small creature could muster up the courage to venture so close to Marjorie's immense size and strength. Yet here they are, defying all odds and forming an unlikely bond. Marjorie's gentle demeanor shines through as she allows this little mouse to explore without any harm or disturbance. Their interaction speaks volumes about the beauty of friendships that transcend boundaries – both physical and species-related. This heartwarming image reminds us that true connections can be found in even the most unexpected places. Whether big or small, gentle giants like Marjorie teach us valuable lessons about kindness and acceptance towards those different from ourselves. As we gaze upon this remarkable moment frozen in time, we can't help but smile at the incredible friendship between these two creatures – proof that sometimes even an elephant can be as gentle as a mouse.
