According to the catalog on the ORMCO website, the Chipmunk rubber bands are the little guys. And there is an Elephant size, though it’s “extraoral”, whatever that means. Does that mean it hooks up to headgear or something torturous-seeming like that?
Too bad they don’t have the pictures of all the animals. Another blogger wrote about her experience with these elastics; she was on a three-animal plan: Ram, Bear and Hummingbird.
I’m grateful to only have to deal with my Chipmunks.

I’ve had my new damon braces for a month and wear the rabbit elastics 24 hours a day. this is my 3rd time in braces. I wore them twice for a total of 8 years when I was younger and had major maxillofacial surgery. Now that I am 43 I decided to do it again. I love these Damon braces, my teeth are already looking like they once did and they are so much more comfortable these days.
