Germany’s 'Dr Death' Gunter von Hagens has plastinated a pachyderm for a Jumbo-sized exhibition.

The corpse collector, who preserves bodies for eternity with a special gel to display around the world, turned his unique talents to Samba the elephant.

She passed away last year at the age of 41 in Neukirchen Zoo in Germany.

Donated to von Hagens' Plastination Institute for preservation, she is by far the biggest challenge to his team so far.

Nearly 13ft tall and weighting 3.2 tons, Samba took 65,000 hours to be turned into the latest star attraction of his circus of the doomed.

Ooooh I want to be plastinated!
Formerly _Libby. Fancied a change!
Not going to be around much in the next week or so. Exams- boo!

And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life... ♥

Cool. Just make sure that you're plastinated with your arms out so I could stand you up in my hallway and use you as a coat rack. :rolleyes:

Duly noted.
However I will also be plastinated so that I am permanently giving you evils. Arms out + evil expression come as a package deal.
