I rather suspect
the elephant doesn't ike it becuase of the colour. I used to work in a zoo and elephants see mice all the time (you just cant keep them out of a place that stores tons of hay and feed) with no problems at all. However no elephant would normally see a white one, or at such close quarters unexpectecly. It's interesting, but I'd want to test this further.
