Both mine and Greg's ARE animated, given that they both contain the x(t) and Y(t) time based parameters. I.e., these are 4-dimensional depictions of the quantuum states of the elephant...to see them move requires that you imbibe at least 3 cans of Foster's Lager (in Greg's case) or the equivalent number of pints of Old Schoolhouse Ruud Awakening (for mine). And tomorrow they will be pink, and chase you around the toilet.

I cheated, I actually plotted (y,-x). I'd point out that they haven't really used 4 variables, because you need 5 complex numbers it just so happens that the 4th is zero. That is, there is more information than just 4 complex numbers in the coding.
Here's a slightly better bit of trunk wiggling and the thinner lines show how the ellipses add up

But it all works out: His AC current runs on a cosine curve, going backwards half the time.

Now come up with a 4-bar linkage that will draw it!

RE: Curve fitting an elephant
A guy goes to the psychiatrist.
The psychiatrists shows him a card with a rectangle on it, and says, "What does this remind you of?"
The patient responds, "Sex!"
Next, the psychiatrist shows him a card with a circle on it and says "How about this one?"
The patient again responds, "Sex!"
Next, the psychiatrist shows him a card with a triangle on it and says, "And this one?"
"Sex!" is the answer again.
The psychiatrist says, "I think I see your problem. You seem to be obsessed with sex."
"I'm obsessed with sex?", the patient says, "Look who's showing the dirty pictures!"
So let's just say that elephant could use a couple more constants to really look like an elephant instead of an amoeba.
The 4-bar linkage does sound like a worthy challenge, though.
