can't believe this wasn't posted on the first page of this thread. Not worth reading past one page as I already know they've been there and done that.

Mike is looked after by the large animal vet school. Does Bama have one? I was under the impression they were only a few in the country.

Obviously the lack of a large vet school wouldn't prohibit having an elephant, but having one would certainly make it easier.

I think it would be pretty badass and elephants are easily trained so it could be brought on the field.


This has probably been mentioned already, but only the Indian Elephant is trainable. The African Elephant is considerably larger and is not trainable. The reason I say this is because the elephant used for all of the BAMA pictures, mascots, apparel, etc. resembles the African Elephant.

I don't think we can get an elephant in the 3x6 cage like Mike's.

Alabama wouldn't have to buy one. They can hold a contest with the contestants coming from their female fan base.

Why Doesn't Alabama Buy an Elephant


Because The University of Alabama and its supporters have evolved past the point of keeping a wild animal in captivity and demeaning it by using it as a mascot for a ballgame. We leave that type of behavior to the more uncivilized schools.

There's literally a thread/inside joke before each season on Bama's scout site from the same poster claiming that Alabama is getting a live elephant mascot this year and naming him "albatross".
