We’ve had a number of really nice rain storms lately which, as you know, make the elephants happy. Rain means mud and mud can often bring out silly behavior in the girls. That was the case on this day with Guillermina.
The video, taken from one of our observation cameras, has no sound. But you can still see how Guille is embracing some playful moments during the shower. She lays down and gets lots of good mud squishing done, really leaning into it on her side – even making sure to get her face nice and muddy. After standing up to give herself a little bath, she returns to her comfortable sitting position, scratching her bum and just generally embracing an afternoon of fun, as any 24-year old elephant should.

December 8, 2022 at 4:23 pmHeartwarming to see Guille having such a good time in the rain after being deprived of this simple pleasure for so many years. She clearly loves mud and water!

December 8, 2022 at 4:30 pmWonderful to watch Guille enjoy her spa treatment.
Just wondering is there a human vs elephant age comparison?
Sara says
December 8, 2022 at 5:26 pmThere isn’t really. The ages are somewhat similar to humans, but their lifespan is shorter. The reality is that captivity has such a significant impact on lifespan – almost cutting the average in half, so that makes any comparison convoluted.
