An Elephant
Elephants are giant pachyderms that can be found in India, South East Asia and Africa. While elephants are not naturally indigenous to the Seven Deserts, the Sultan's Palace of Agrabah does contain elephants in its private oasis which have been bred by the royal family's animal caretakers along with many other animals for generations and are used in parades. Because of their importance in Agrabahnian culture, elephants are featured prominently in their architecture and even the Sultan's throne is the head of a large gold elephant.
