Pic: Nothing to see here just 27 people dressed up as elephants in Dublin this morning

Elephants on the loose Luas...

Elephants on the loose Luas…

If you were walking to work or college in Dublin this morning you might have spotted something a little unusual.

No, it wasn’t a load of lads doing the walk of shame after a crazy Thursday night, that’s normal. The unusual sight was actually a herd of elephants roaming around without a care in the world.

Spoiler alert: They weren’t real elephants! Sorry to ruin that for you because they were actually people dressed up in elephants onesies which is almost as terrifying as the real life animals.

Check out the picture of them at a Luas stop in the city centre a little earlier…

There is a reason that those people are dressed up, the stunt is part of Dublin Zoo’s month of celebrations to mark the arrival of three elephant calves to the zoo. We promise they are real elephant and not kids dressed up in onesies.

Hat-tip to 98FM.
