AR-News: (AU) Elephants kick off carnival

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

Nearly 100 elephants played soccer and saluted spectators as India's 
northeastern Assam state kicked off a three-day carnival to boost tourism and end 
bitter rivalries between local inhabitants and the giant beasts.
The house-trained beasts also scored with wildlife enthusiasts who travelled 
from across the world to the festival in the 430-square-kilometre Kaziranga 
wildlife park, which is also home to India's 1,000-plus one-horned rhinoceros.
