Why don't you see elephants hiding in trees?

  • They're very good at it

Why do elephants paint their testicles red?

  • So they can hide in cherry trees

What's the loudest sound in the jungle?

  • Giraffes eating cherries

Ok, that's gold. Thank you

I always head this as:

How does an elephant hide in a cherry tree?

It paints its toenails red. You've never seen one? That's because it works.

And I know this joke as:

Do you know why are elephants' eyes red?

(why?)

So that they can hide in cranberry trees

(I've never seen an elephant in a cranberry tree)

That's because it hid so well

But cranberries don't grow on trees.

I thought it was going to be "they blend in with all the trunks" or similar
