Nelson

Nelson the Elephant is a large elephant who lives in Africa.

Physical Appearance

Nelson is a large big elephant (specifically an African elephant) with pink cheeks with a coloration yellow green grey all around his body. Each of Nelson's four feet have two wrinkles and three white toes.

As a calf, Nelson has the same colors as his adult self, but is much smaller than him as an adult.

Personality

Young

As an elephant calf, Nelson felt very stubborn at first. He is shown to jump around all across Africa which causes the environment to rumble, refusing to give up his hobby of jumping which can disturb other animals. He also feels uncomfortable without jumping, not noticing the importance of being courteous. When Nathalie, Audrey, and Reginald were upset about Nelson's bothersome habits, Nelson also realized that it might cause extra disturbance. As an alternative, Nelson even made a compromise with Audrey, Nathalie, and Reginald to play an alternative activity that has nothing to do with being noisy.

Adult

Nelson is usually very kind to Lucy and many other animals in Africa. Nelson is usually very helpful to others in the African regions and is the wisest of all animals in Africa.

Like all elephants, Nelson has great wisdom. Nelson gets along well with other African animals. Though Nelson is a bit grumpy, Nelson is not counted as a genuine villain. Instead Nelson is counted as an anti-hero.

In the third and fourth seasons, Nelson has a nephew named Nigel often showing a firm personality to his nephew. Nelson dislikes it when his nephew is behaving badly and doesn't follow advice from the other animals. However, despite his mischievousness, Nelson still loves his nephew.

Trivia

  • He is the animal who has told the most stories.
  • Despite living in Africa, Nelson looks like an Asian elephant or may be an African-Asian hybrid. Also, he does not have any tusks as an adult. This is because African elephants have big ears and Asian elephants have small ears. Also, the worst part of Nelson's body is that his head is in his body abdomen, which is anatomically incorrect. His skin is supposed to be dark grey or brown, just like elephants in real life.
    • Additionally despite living in Africa, it is never stated what exact subspecies of elephant Nelson is based on - whether he is a bush elephant or a forest elephant, even though he appears in certain episodes where he appears either in the savanna, the jungle, or any other landscape Nelson has been at. Therefore, as Nelson appears frequently in certain episodes taking place in Africa where the savanna appears, it is likely he is an African bush elephant.
  • Nelson is the only adult animal that is seen as a child.
    • Nelson is also only the adult elephant seen in the series. The other elephants seen in the series are elephant calves.
  • He has big eyes in the Adobe Flash revival.
  • Nelson has a nephew named Nigel in the Adobe Flash revival. Nelson is also the father of Nigel.
  • He is based on an African bush elephant, despite having small ears.
  • The trumpeting sound of an elephant in real life is actually a bellow. His trumpeting sound almost sounds like a foghorn. Nelson does make a mock bellow by saying "Toot".
  • In Corneil and Bernie, Nelson makes a brief appearance in the episode "Who Said That?". He can be seen as one of the animals in the animal shelters. He is seen next to Pablo while Corneil meets Bernie who captured a parrot named Coco in his cage. Nelson does not have any dialogue in this episode. Both, Nelson and Pablo are from both series produced by Millimages.
    • Additionally, Corneil and Nelson are both voiced by Keith Wickham in the same universe.
  • Nelson is the only storyteller from Africa to tell stories that take place in Mossy Bay and South America.
  • Nelson resembles the incidental elephants used by the hunters who are after the tiger in An Vrombaut's animated short film, "When I Grow Up, I Want to Be a Tiger".
