This is my first answer.. so bear with me... I remember seeing a Herman Li video on youtube about how to make certain noises on the guitar...
Basically you turn the volume off. Now, pick a string, and then turn the volume up and crank the whammy bar at the same time. The harder you pull on the whammy bar the higher pitched the elephant squeel will go.
Ah.. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtUiQJc7ZMI
You can watch the whole thing, or if you turn to 1:35 he explains the elephant noise...
Have fun!

Stuff like "Elephant Talk" from King Crimson's album "Discipline" is the sound of Adrian Belew playing a fretless guitar.
He's used it in his solo stuff too, I remember a song called "Big Electric Cat".

Really good quality drugs, and an audio tape of an elephant.
