In fact, it looks so much like an elephant that many people think it must have been shaped by humans. That is not case, however. The elephant's realistic （appear）is, at least partially, due to the fact that the cliff （consist）of a special rock. The rock gives the figure "skin" that looks wrinkled and gray, just like that of a real elephant.
