One elephpant is missing, the HaPHPy elePHPant:
https://twitter.com/haphpy20/status/674935102779097088

It is a unique one offered for the 20th PHP birthday to the Kenya User Group for their contribution.

What version of PHP are you using to build the site? I'd like to add that to the composer.json requirements so future contributors know which features they can/can't use when contributing.

Here is a picture of L'aieul (the ancestor), the first elephpant ever. He still exists, though it is resting.

Also, the first large elephpant ever bears the name of 'papa' and acted as the father for the first 15000 elephants. Sadly, the mother is not to be found anymore. :(

The name Liona is listed on the Kickstarter site.
((as a side note, I'm creating this issue, after already fixing it, so that I can attached this issue to the PR I'm getting ready to submit.))

Looks like a few PRs have been accepted without the page being regenerated - set up some sort of CI to do so on merge maybe?

Looks like the guide is still in need of pictures for the ZendCon 2018 elephpant

There is a Blue Shopware Elephpant heading around. Don't know any information - yet.

I reckon the field guide could mention the huge inflatable ElePHPant from the PHP conferences in Brasil https://www.flickr.com/photos/cjbj/3074841785/in/album-72157614283590064/

Should we include Images for the large Elephpants?

Hey, Im working on a site to allow people across the world to trade elephpants and we would love to use the data you have if possible. Would you consider a public api? I have no problem building it if you are cool with it.

There is also a Blue Elephpant from Magento. Currently i don't know anything about this little guy. Also this fellow dude had a different shape then the usually elephpant, so idk if he can be count as an "Elephpant".

I seem to remember seeing a photo of a prototype on Twitter a few years back (or maybe it was just a drawing).

It was intended for one of the ZendCon conferences. Was a blue elephant with a rocket on its back if I remember correctly.

AFAIK it ended up never getting produced because it was deemed inappropriate as tensions around Israel were flaring up again around the time.

The eBay link for Gold no longer works, but there is an archive of it including a thumbnail montage (in the first saved revision).

I think the existing link should be replaced with this archive, since it actually works and shows the other side of the elephant.

Need to make the elephpant blocks responsive so the information is vertical on small screens. Also update the overall site width.

Some trivia about the Oracle elePHPants.

Oracle ordered 500 small "Oracle" elePHPants from Damien Seqguy in December 2018. There was some shipping damage to boxes and 496 arrived at Oracle HQ in a few batches in February and March 2018. These were given out at conferences, notably PHP Quebec and php|tek. Others went to user groups.

At the same time, Damien Seguy created 14 large "Oracle" elePHPants: "They came as a mixup in the order for the small elePHPant version". Oracle bought 7 and I bought 1. These were used as conference prizes.
