Lupino drove along the highway 134 to take a picture of the rock and described it as a special feature of the town by its resemblance to an elephant.(Photo: Caters News).

The massive stone was once part of the mountain range of Monte Casteddazzu before cracking, rolling down the valley and lying on the side of the road.(Photo: Caters News).

The process of erosion due to weather effects makes the rock shaped like an elephant with full head and hose.(Photo: Caters News).

"This rock transformed into an elephant by nature. When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was quite small. But when I got close, I realized it was as tall as 4 meters with an incredible look from the side. edge ", Lupino shared.(Photo: Caters News).

Not only did the rock create beauty for the town, it was also important in archeological terms because it kept two "Domus de Janas", a type of tomb room in Sardinia.(Photo: Caters News).
