10 Famous rocks that totally look like elephants

There are many, many rocks around the world that look like something, but not as many that specifically look like elephants. Now some of these have been sculpted by the sea, or eroded by rain and wind and some are magmatic, but all of them have that unmistakable look of the beautiful giant mammals.

Hopefully these rocks won’t be the only reminder of elephants in near future.
