Elephants and crocodiles await water pressure.

Spritzing Elephants and Crocodile

Marshalltown, Iowa

Two bronze adult elephants and three young 'uns stand in a cement pond in front of a real estate office. Several of the elephants are rigged to spritz water from their trunks, and a toothy crocodile is included in the frolicsome tableau.

It's a noteworthy upgrade from an earlier display on this same spot, of perhaps a dozen elephant statues of various sizes just standing in the grass. The owner of the real estate office, Jamie Bland, evidently likes elephants.
