Yeah, but could they see the island? According to the article, it was five miles off the coast at that time. I guess it's possible, given that one can see the cliffs of Dover from the French coast on a clear day. But elephants have poor eyesight.

I don't doubt elephants like the water. I just didn't know they were given to Chris Columbus-type exploration of the sea.

I don't understand why mammoths would be compelled to go swimming miles into the ocean. Did they wade out too far and get caught in a current or something?
