I had to go look it up. Not sure that picture is accurate, mind, it’s the only one I could find. (Though lots of comments about herds being led by a blind elephant…. I’m sure there’s a joke in there.)

I’m sure there is an exception for creatures made from fabric and foam, somewhere.

Makes sense. Evolution gives prey animals eyes with as wide a field of vision as possible, so they can detect predators better. Elephants are too large for predators to mess with and so is big bird.

The elephant in the picture though is smaller than a mouse

But the elephant is also roughly the size of a duck.

Can confirm. I measured on my screen, estimating the trunk length extended, and it’s about 6 cm trunk to tail (or 2⅜" in the US).
