In English we would say, ''With elephants on it''. Is the 'it' just implied here or would it be okay to say ''med elefanter på det''.

"With elephants on" is a dialectal variant in English, so "with elephants on it" should be the default sentence, although both are correct. I'm pretty sure that the structure in English is actually due to Scandinavian influence. The phrase "med elefanter på" is fine in Danish!

I am very English and I might use the sentence with or without a final 'it'.
