Wow is right,  I have a couple of these but this has to be some kind of mistake.  They do no normally sell for that kind of price...

They made two different elephant banks... The one I have is the common one...
 this is the slick eared (ears are are tappered flat to the side of the head)
Obviously a harder one to find.
