  4. Can elephants swim? Or is it just wading.

  5. Actually, elephants not only swim, but they swim very well.

    If it were an elephant in the video though, more of its body would be submerged.

  6. Could still be an elephant. When was the shot taken? How deep is the water there? The quality of the pic is low, so what we may be seeing is the contrast of the elephant against the surrounding water despite parts of its body being submerged.

  7. Scale-wise, it's the right size, sompared to the surrounding terrain, to be an elephant. But the biggest issue I have is that the entire body shape is perfect for an elephant, the "neck" is too short and small to be a neck and not a trunk, and there is no tail which all known sauropods and plesiosaurs have.
