Mysterious elephant having a paddle at Florida beach was probably there for a birthday party

An elephant spotted on North Redington Beach in Pinellas County, Florida, on Saturday was likely part of a beach birthday party.



Back in February, a woman asked the city commission to sign off on having the trained elephant to make an appearance at her 60th birthday party.

Commissioners approved that request.

Unbelievable isn't it? *Repeat infinitum*

Beach goers had spotted the elephant having a paddle in the comfortable Gulf of Mexico waters.
