This month, London has been taken over by The Elephant Parade charity with a herd of over 200 individually decorated elephants!
The Elephant Parade charity aims to raise awareness and funds for the endangered Asian elephant which has seen its species decline over the past century from 250,000 to just 25,000.
Over 250 brightly painted life-size elephants have been placed around centrail London until July 4th. Each elephant has been decorated by a different artist or celebrity and eventually they'll all be auctioned to raise money for the cause.
American fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi created psychedelic coloured elephant Candy, Lulu Guiness branded her elephant with luscious red lips and Julien Macdonald covered his renowned animal print.
To see more of these amazing elephants, download a map of the locations of the elephants and/or head over to the Elephant Parade pop up shop at 36 Carnaby Street where you can buy all of the elephants in limited edition miniatures. From 10cm -35cm, prices range from £6.95 to £229.
