Elephant Gas

1. A typical elephant "releases" about 2000 litres (500 gallons) of methane gas -- every day!

2. In addition, each elephant produces about 100 Kilograms (over 200 pounds) of dung every day
-- which, when fermented, produces even more methane gas.

Then again, if you are out in the wild, it might be a good idea for YOU to stay downwind -- else the elephants might smell you -- and come stampeding your way.
