If no one wants to host I will! It has been a very long time since I hosted a puzzle!
The problem with elephants in the night is that they become invisible. Even if
you shine a light on them, you don’t really see them. Possibly it’s because at
night you need to get relatively close to things before you can see them, and
the very size of an elephant up close offers no recognisable view of the whole
animal. All you see is darkness.
As a rule I tried to avoid driving at night, but one Friday evening after
attending a school function with the girls, I had no choice but to drive home
in the dark. About halfway home, the massive bulk of an elephant bull
loomed up rather too late in the beam of the headlights. He had his head
in the bushes alongside the road and his behind on the track directly
in front of us. I slammed on the brakes, pulling up right under the
elephant’s rump. His hind legs buckled at the knees (as usually
happens when an elephant is startled) and his enormous posterior began
descending onto the bonnet. Waiting for the colossal crunch, I closed
my eyes, but luckily the elephant changed his mind about sitting down
and charged off, screaming with consternation as he crashed destructively
through the bush. The landscape shuddered. My daughters giggled. I was in
shock and my teeth chattered the rest of the way home.

It's from The Wilderness Family by Kobie Kruger. She spent years living on South African reserves with her ranger husband and family. It's the most gorgeous book if you're looking for a gift for bookworm animal lover :)
