Lucy the Elephant

Lucy the Elephant is a trained pachyderm performer who appeared in Muppet Treasure Island, bearing Miss Piggy in an ornate carriage for the latter's grand entrance. Shooting with the elephant had to be carefully choreographed so the animal would not lean over or go backwards. The trainer personally led Lucy, while surrounded by a parade of puppeteers on both ends. However, the scene was framed to suggest that Lucy was marching entirely on her own.
