Fun in the new yard

The first half of the phase one expansion of the elephant habitat is complete. Mac, Methai, and Shanti have been exploring the new space now for a couple of weeks. It appears the verdict is in – they like it! The center of the yard is a big sand pile. What it’s turned into is an elephant couch! It’s a lot like the comfortable couch in your living room - the adults see it as a place to relax and maybe take naps, but the kids use it as a playground. Recently, Mac’s Aunt Methai wanted to take a nap. Mac wanted to play. Elephant keepers recorded the experience and we’re happy to share it with you here.
