The large original elephants are specially designed for parades that take part in cities all across the world, the latest of which is taking place currently in India! Elephant Parade was founded by father and son Marc and Mike Spits in 2006. Whilst on holiday In Thailand, Marc met a baby elephant named Mosha, who had lost part of her leg after stepping on a landmine. Mosha inspired Marc and Mike to create Elephant Parade. Mosha remains the central heart to Elephant parade to this day and Marc and Mike still regularly visit her. Some 20 per cent of Elephant Parade net profit is donated to elephant welfare and conservation charities.
