In retrospect, wearing the peanut costume near the elephant pen was a mistake.
At least two newspaper comic strips have had Mr. Peanut (the now retired Planters Peanuts mascot) get eaten by an elephant. I've also seen him get eaten by Squirrel Girl and a were-squirrel. I guess that's what you get for looking like a tasty peanut.

Hope the elephant didnt get sick by the costume n.n

The costume was wood fiber and while it won't digest very well it will soften, and it's in small enough bits to make its way through just fine. 83

This is very to my liking! I love ironicly suited prey, and I love zoo setting! A lot of various mascot type suiters have to watch out when fitting predatory animals are around.
Light hearted humor about the situation at the end, I guess it's easy to get those thoughts when the situation itself is so cartoonish!

This story happened because I remembered an old Tundra comic (Tundra was an obscure comic that ran in the newspapers in Alaska) titled "Mr. Peanut's bad day the zoo." https://www.pinterest.com/pin/194288171402633007/
Checking recently, I found at least one more comic with that theme https://arnoldzwicky.org/2020/01/13/just-one-peanut/
and another with an elephant chasing him, plus on E621 I found the aforementioned Squirrel Girl and weresquirrel comics.
Wearing mascot costumes with a tasty theme is unsafe in places besides the Stregaverse, it appears. 83

I think I've seen something like that in a comic too. Popular danger around elephants it seems! And it's generally aad idea to look like a big version of some animals preffered food!

Weirdly enough, the all knowing internet says you aren't supposed to feed them peanuts and peanuts aren't native to their home territories. I guess it's just a lifetime of zoo and circus movies has programmed us to think it's normal for them to eat the things.

Probably say you aren't supposed to be eaten by them either!

This reminded me of the incident when a man cleaning the elephants pen accidentally got his head stuck up an elephants rear, luckily for him he didn't fully end up inside.

I think I’ve seen a gif of that. They really do have roomy plumbing.

Also the movie The Brothers Grimsby they hid inside a Female elephants... You know... To hide from some mercenaries, but they couldn't get out cause there's a line of male elephants behind the female.

I heard about that one. I think I've seen a clip of it, too. Not exactly a classy movie, but funny.
