Ah, I see I'm not the only person who visits snopes :) I'm a bit sceptical about the elephant one. I can't picture a rhino, hippo or giraffe jumping either but I may be wrong...
The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on. If you tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe, he'll believe you. But if you tell him a bench has just been painted, he'll have to touch it to be sure.

The elephant one is true ! Because they are so large the lungs are attached to the inside of the chest rather than hang free (e.g. as in humans) and as a result can't take the strech an elephant would require to jump. As proof, someone came up with low level fences with sharpened wires (bit like a long porcupine) because the elehants couldn't step over them without gettign stabbed have proven very effective.

I never said elephants could jump :-D. I just said that I think they aren't the only ones that couldn't jump. I'm pretty sure, having met a hippo and a rhino close up, that they couldn't jump either. I also think it would be tough for a giraffe to jump with its weak, inflexable legs. :)
