Solution

There is a hidden clue in the riddle and that proves to be a major twist in calculating the answer. Read on to know how the answer is 5.

The clues given above say that every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river. But it does not state that each elephant saw 2 different monkeys going towards the river. Therefore, it must be assumed that all of the elephants saw the same set of pair of monkeys.

So now we have 6 elephants, 2 monkeys. In addition to that, each monkey held a parrot in his hand. That makes it 2 parrots.

So total 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys, and 2 parrots = 5 animals are going towards the river
