White elephant in Yangon
In the sunshine its skin is a soft reddish brown. When it rains, it seems to turn a pale orange. Its name is Yaza Gaha Thiri Pissaya Gaza Yaza, which means ''Glorious Elephant King.''
A real white elephant is an albino animal. Most white elephants are holy. This rare white elephant has been captured in the jungles of northwestern Myanmar, a mostly Buddhist country where the animals are considered good omens.
