Seeing an elephant standing on one leg is pretty impressive. As an elephant gets bigger and older, is this particular trick in the act eliminated?

The heavier they get the more difficult the trick becomes so I stopped when it looked like they were struggling with it.
It was done mostly to impress other trainers.
