Elephant with notch in ear

  • Batfan by Batfan

    I was wondering if this could be Nero? There's a notch in the about the same place on the right ear as there is in Nero's pictures but I can't make out a smaller notch. I'm also not sure that the trunk looks as foreshortened as his does.

    I need to compare the traits a bit more, but I am pretty sure that this is not Nero. We (i.e., Nuria) said that Nero is a male. And I think that a nipple here at around 5 sec. - so, it's a female? (But I am certainly no expert here!)

    Yes, I did have my doubts - it was just that ear notch that did it for me. I've had another look and see what you mean about a possible nipple. I've also noticed that at around 0.13 - 0.14, the trunk looks to have a definite lip, which I'm not sure that Nero's does. Oh well, I'll keep on trying!

    Hmm, I don´t see Nero in ACP000dyju : the cut on Nero´s ear looks a bit move V-shaped, while this one looks rounder. Also, I see a complete trunk tip in this guy.

    You can see nipples in males too, see Nero in ACP000czkc
