On one of the days when Rana was roaming Yard 5, she and Maia found themselves across the creek together. They saw Scott, who was more than happy to give them a bath and some fresh water from the hose. Both got a thorough soaking before Maia let him know she was ready for a drink. After a moment, Rana put her head forward to ask for her own mouthful. It was a warm day so, though they were already at a water trough, it was a much appreciated stop for both elephants.

April 2, 2023 at 9:51 pmHow can they take in such forceful water? I couldn’t see them gulping. Does their trunk take some in? Fascinating to say the least!

April 2, 2023 at 10:15 pmoften they hold it in their mouth until they are full and then swallow, but they also allow a lot of water to just run out of their mouth as well.

April 9, 2023 at 10:27 pmI WANT TO DO THIS!!! It would just be so much fun to squirt water on the girls and give them drinks. It is so heart-warming to watch them enjoy interacting with their caregivers. I love these girls so much and happy for you all that you have such an interesting and fulfilling job.
