Queenie, the Elephant of the Lake
Photoshop alert? No! This is an actual elephant water-skiing in a lake in the 1950s. It’s Queenie, the famous elephant stealing the show at state and county fairs, Republican rallies, and military bases across America. Her keeper, Liz Dane, claimed Queenie genuinely enjoyed the aquatic escapade, insisting no coercion was involved.
This astonishing act remains a jaw-dropping spectacle even 60 years later. Queenie died at age 59 in her retirement home in a South Georgia theme park. She was believed to be one of the oldest Asian elephants in North America. Her water-skiing feat is an enduring testament to a bygone era of entertainment, dazzling and perplexing us today.
