Guille Carries Her Snacks With Her

After spending dinnertime with her friends, Guillermina decided to take a walk around the habitat in search of some hidden treats for dessert. She came upon a few bites of hay, which she grabbed and (very) quickly began to carry away to eat. You can see that she scoops up quite a large trunkful and doesn’t want to drop a morsel. For Guille, this may have been a case of “keep your friends close and your snacks closer.” She finally found a spot and enjoyed all of her food in just a couple of mouthfuls.

    Guille – a born strategist who has learned many Sanctuary lessons – what a girl!
    It always surprises me when the elephants go for the hay when there is all that lush greenery around.

      They definitely graze all day on the natural stuff. Hay is just an extra treat.

    She looks a better weight. Still fast walking which also be good for her. Food must be a comforter too, maybe she’s doing less grazing atm? Maybe it’s a quirk she’ll always have but so much growing to yet yet with the loved Guille. We all wish zoo life hadn’t killed her mother. =(

      she is a much better weight and building up muscle, but still has a little bit to go. guille grazes very well, but it’s a new batch of beautiful hay and all the girls are loving it. she’s definitely a foodie.
