Six-year-old brings 270-stone elephant to school

A six-year-old Texas girl amazed her classmates when she brought an elephant to school.

Jillian Blair's grandfather drove 290-stone Kamba to the school in Louisville where she spent two hours being fed.

Previously, the children at the Kid Country Child Development Centre had been impressed with a pet chicken.

Six-year-old Christian Kelly said: "It's cool because I never saw an elephant before. I didn't get to see one at the zoo because they were hiding ... My mom isn't going to believe an elephant came to school."

The children fed the Indian elephant bananas and rode on her back.

Jillian's grandfather works with performing animals.
