Elephants and actors dressed up as ancient warriors take up positions at an annual elephant roundup on the field in northeastern Surin province, Thailand, Saturday, Nov. 17, 2007. Hundreds of actors and their pachyderm steeds re-enacted the wartime tactics of centuries ago as part of Thailand's 47th annual Elephant Roundup. The festival, which attracts thousands of tourists to the small city of Surin, celebrates the elephant as both a noble patriotic symbol and a longtime companion of local tribal minorities.
