Eliphant eggs have to be poached...JER

Um.. not sure if you were joking or not, but they are mammals, and the only mammal I know that lays eggs is good ole' Duckbill.
Edit.. just saw the grin on top of your reply hehe.. none in the text which is where I looked. Alright, I'll have to put you in the top 1% of intelligence for pool players for knowing elephants don't lay eggs.
 
Nice

Congrats to you for know duckbill is a mammal and lays eggs. Did you also know it's 1 or 2 mammals that is venemous? Guess the other.

I'd still like to check out a pic of the java lizard skin close up.

Next question!!!!
Venomous

Cuban Solenodon (Atopogale cubana) & Haitian Solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus)
Solenodons look similar to big hedgehogs with no coat of spines. They both have venomous bites; the venom is delivered from modified salivary glands via grooves in their second lower incisors.

The calcaneous spur found on the male platypus's hind limb is used to deliver venom.

Platypus (Ornithorhyncus anatinus)
Males have a venomous spur on their hind legs. Echidnas, the other monotremes, have spurs but no functional venom glands.

Eurasian water shrew (Neomys fodiens)
Capable of delivering a venomous bite.

Northern Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina brevicauda)
Capable of delivering a venomous bite.

Southern Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina carolinensis) & Elliot's Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina hylophaga)
Possibly have a venomous bite.

Venomous/poisonous

Slow loris (Nycticebus coucang)
Glands on the inside of their elbows secrete a toxin that smell reminiscent of human sweat. They cover their babies in the toxin to protect them from predators, and put it in their mouths to give themselves a venomous bite, delivering the toxin via their lower incisors.

Chemical defense

Family Mephitidae
Skunks can eject a noxious fluid from glands near their anus. It is not only foul smelling, but can cause skin irritation and, if it gets in the eyes, temporary blindness. Some members of the mustelid family, such as the striped polecat (Ictonyx striatus), also have this capacity to an extent. Pangolins can also emit a noxious smelling fluid from glands near the anus. The Great Long-nosed Armadillo can also release a disagreeable musky odour when threatened.

Yeah, the shrew was the other I had in mind. I didn't know about the solenadon.
 
Elephant hide is legal. For what its worth, an exotic hide dealer recently told me that on rare occasion he gets elephant scrotum leather! It is more expensive than ear. A very well known Calfornia cuemaker buys it for cue wraps, he said. I have to say that this is where I draw the line. I have no interest in buying or installing elephant (or other critter) scrotum wraps. :eek:

there are real and totally legal.i am sure it is coming from an Elephant sanctuary after they die or something like that.i am sure the skins are coming from dead Elephants.i know the impact on the Elephant from the wraps is far less than the ivory trade.you can wrap 25 cues with one Elephant ear.that would last most cuemakers a lifetime.i also am not the only guy putting Elephant wraps on either.there are many cuemakers using it,it has a wondeful feel.

have you ever used ivory in a cue?
 
BOOM BOOM BAM BOOM BOOM BAM
"Tell me said the elephant"
