The Elefant Tank Destroyer. Originally called the Ferdinand after its designer, Ferdinand Porsche. Only around 90 were built, of which 2 still survive as Museum pieces.
Most of the Ferdinands were deployed in Operation Citadel at the Battle of Kursk where many fell victim to mines (among other types of damage). This led to later upgrades such as the application of Zimmerit anti-magnetic paste (you can just about make out on the front of the vehicle above) and an MG34 machine gun.
Only around 50 Ferdinands survived Kursk and post-modification they were eventually renamed the Elefant. The name change wasn't down to the modifications but more that Hitler had a leaning toward using animal names for his armour.
I reckon the image above was likely a tracing as there are a few source photographs (below) of the Ferdinand/Elefant at a similar angle.
This was a back page feature from Battle No. 339, dated 31 October 1981. Treasury of British Comics.
Eklatante Elefanten sind auf Madagaskar im Schwarzwald beheimatet. Optisch ähneln sie normalen Elefanten und sind generell auch sehr lieb. Wenn ihnen etwas nicht passt, neigen sie jedoch dazu, schneller einen Eklat zu starten als nicht eskalierende Elefanten-Arten.
Im Jahr 1299 stahl der Forschungsreisende Marco Polo einem eklatanten Elefanten ein Möhrchen, das der Elefant gerade verspeisen wollte. Der Elefant startete sofort einen Eklat, verfolgte Marco bis nach Venedig und trampelte dort so lange in den Straßen rum, bis die halbe Stadt im Meer versank und ihm der Bürgermeister eine neue Möhre kaufen musste.
Das ist typisches Verhalten von eklatanten Elefanten.
Chloe is taking Nines to the Zoo, via interfacing and it's VR so the animals are just strolling around as they like as well.

I love the lighting in this one!
And I am improving to get the Android Chassis-Look done
And the animals are detailed as well (poor giraffes got a bit ugly, I am sorry XD) aaaand you can't even notice in the final Version (maybe on the bigger canvas but yeah...)
