The ugly elephant of the Benidorm animal park who was rejected by the herd as long-legged and too thin, has been in the limelight again after the news last week that she had managed to find a boyfriend.
Petita, ‘la fea,’ as she is known at Terra Natura, and her new beau, Luka, were at the centre of attention this Sunday for a ceremony which was watched by more than 100 guests, as father René Figueroa blessed their union. The Información newspaper said the novios got a garland of fruit and fig leaves instead of rings, and the guests celebrated the happy event with a wedding cake.
As the paper said, perhaps the next event will be to celebrate a birth – in around 22 months’ time.
