plus the most talented dogs you've ever seen.

Don't forget about the cats.

Hold on tight for a stunning display

on the set of "Saving Flora"

and she was in a ton of great movies.

"Water for Elephants" and "Operation Dumbo Drop"

on the right spot better prepared

than me to do all of her lines.

40 year old elephant.

isn't enough birds can resort

to some pretty bizarre behaviors.
