About this Episode
Apparently the elephant isn’t in the room anymore.
A construction worker is killed by what seems to be a rogue elephant except the witnesses didn’t see anything. But an elephant is found dead not far away. Mulder and Scully go to the local zoo that the elephant escaped from to try and piece together what’s happening: is it animal activists releasing the animals and causing mayhem or is something extraterrestrial going on?
Aliens upgrading from cows?
They’re gonna need a bigger ship.
