Blender 30/30 Day 08: Hermit Elephants

Terry Pratchett describes the hermit elephant as the “strangest, and possibly saddest,” species on the Discworld. These creatures have thin skin, and must find another form of protection. A hermit elephant will walk into a village and lift a hut onto it’s back to use as a shell, not unlike a hermit crab. A herd of hermit elephants is a beautiful sight to behold.
