Elephants, wherever you encounter them, are wild animals. Close, unsupervised contact with any elephant should never be initiated. Do not climb into enclosures; do not get out of vehicles. Do not tailgate an elephant. Think of how you might behave if a stranger suddenly appeared in your living room. Or materialized out of a solid object. Think of how you would react to a dog nattering at your heels. Respect these great gray beings and they will respect you.

No Quiall, the elephant is Morula, and the hole is where Jabu caught her ear in his tusk. Elephant ears are often jagged and torn at the edges, because they are as thin as silk. The hole no longer exists, she caught it in thorns and now her ear is jagged in that spot.
Thanks for clearing that up. whew!
You’re welcome.
