A drugs haul weighing more than an elephant has been seized in the Mexican navy’s biggest ever drugs bust.

The operation saw 23 people arrested off the country’s southwest coast.

The haul weighed some 8,400kg - an elephant can weigh up to 6,000kg on average, according to the WWF.

“This represents the largest quantity of drugs seized in a maritime operation, without precedent in the history of the institution,” the navy said in a statement.

    Properly speaking, there is no such thing as nanoelephants. That’s just an informal unit used by coke dealers for marketing purposes. Elephants are obviously an imperial unit. There’s 103 golden retrievers per elephant, 14 footballs to the the golden retriever, 9 eight-track cassettes per football, and 525 liberal tears per cassette. You should have been using liberal tears to be scientific.
