Inflatable African elephants, a mother and calf, tower over beach goers at Sydney's Bondi Beach October 5, 2003. The elephants were erected by International Fund For Animal Welfare officials in a bid to draw attention to Animal Action Week focussing on elephants around the world who are victims of poachers and a banned ivory trade which is threatening the large creatures' survival.
