Mali in the City

The Mali in the City project celebrates the Melbourne Zoo's 150th Anniversary and the zoo's first Asian Elephant Calf, who was named Mali.  All of the sculptures are life-size representations of the baby elephant.

I thought they were really cool so while exploring Melbourne, I took pictures of all the ones I found and their names.  The exhibition consists of 50 elephants and I found 23 of them.

I don't have a name for this one, but he was in China Town.

I like this one because it had trunk marks on it, showing that the elephant had painted itself
