开学季临近，云南一高校为准大学生们准备了一份特殊的礼物——“大象驾驶证”。

A college in Southwest China's Yunnan province has presented some new students with "elephant riding licenses" this fall as a promotion for wildlife protection.

据了解，云南理工职业学院在新生报到时，会抽取一部分幸运的学生，送上一本“大象驾驶证”。

有趣的是，每头大象都有一个接地气的云南本土名字——“烧包谷”“烧饵块”“小洋芋”……

The license, gifted by Yunnan Polytechnic College, has the driver's information on the left page and the elephant's information at the right. Each elephant has its own local name, such as "Shaobaogu", "Shaoerkuai" and "Xiaoyangyu", most of which are also names of food.

看到这里，大家不会真的以为这是一本真实的驾驶证吧？其实，这是该校的文创产品。

College authorities said that wild Asian elephants are national first-class protected animals. Not only should students never actually attempt to ride these elephants, but they also should strive to protect these endangered creatures.

校方表示，希望通过这样的创意让学生们更好地了解云南特色，同时唤起大家保护生物多样性的意识，提升生态保护的理念。

网友们纷纷调侃，“云南人骑大象上学实锤了” 。

如此别出心裁又富有深意的迎新礼物，令不少网友“实名羡慕”，同时不忘晒出自己老家的“坐骑”。

无独有偶，中秋佳节临近，兰州大学专门为新生们准备了一款印有“骆驼驾驶证”的月饼。

开学在即，你是否对新的生活同样充满期待？
