Today we are going to explore a statue seen only in Portland, Oregon. This statue is of a elephant with a second smaller elephant on top of it. This elephant was sculpted in honor of a young explorer named Kirby Sandsalot and his young small person companion Rocky Teacut. Kirby became famous in 1910 when he first discovered the animal today known as the elephant. Elephants were first found in the city of Portland and did not relocate to Africa until the release of the movie Dumbo drop in America in 1995. The sheer embarrassment of that movie caused the elephants to move southwest of Oregon to the land of Africa. Unfortunately the actors found in the movie still can be found in the U.S. This elephant now stands tall into the Portland skyline at 9 feet and six inches. On the underbelly of the elephant there can be found a passage that was written into the belly by George Washington himself describing the elephant migration in 1995. This passage is rumored to be found in the future sequel to the movie National Treasure which is going to be called National Treasure 5: Unpaid National Debt.
