***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.
