With all the watermelon posts earlier this week, we didn’t want Lady feeling left out, so here’s a video of her enjoying half of a watermelon.
Lady isn’t quite as graceful eating her watermelons as Rana and Maia are. Her lack of grace doesn’t affect her enjoyment of them. She may be trying to perfect her watermelon eating skills, or she may have decided that the best technique is to have fun and get messy.
The other day, she tried to suck out the juicy red fruit from the rind instead of picking it up. That didn’t work very well. She is getting better at eating them, but it’s still hilariously adorable to watch.
PS: Apologies to those in the northern hemisphere who are craving watermelons due to our posts this week, but have a few more months to wait before they are in season.

March 12, 2020 at 4:16 pmI expect every elephant has a different way of scrunching the watermelon due to the size and shape of their jaw and the size of their trunk. However Lady does it, it is rather adorable when it all squishes out on to the ground. but she gets the job done and has a great time.

March 12, 2020 at 4:29 pmWatermelon juice runs down my grandson’s face. I love to watch him eat his watermelon.
Did you know if you put salt on your watermelon it brings out the sweetness, try it?
Lady loves her watermelon and maybe she never had any until she came to sanctuary?
Thank you for taking really good care of your family of elephants!

March 12, 2020 at 5:17 pmWho needs a food processor when you’ve got Lady! Precious! ❤️??

March 12, 2020 at 8:05 pmMaybe you should cut the watermelon in smaller pieces so it doesn’t get squashed and wasted. Just a thought.
EleComposer says
March 13, 2020 at 12:04 pmShe gets cut-up watermelon all the time, but the elephants really enjoy being given big giant pieces that they can do all sorts of squishy things with. All bases are covered.

March 13, 2020 at 12:43 pmThat would spoil the fun, Greg.
Carol Anddersson says
March 12, 2020 at 8:22 pmIs it possible that Lady has not hat watermelon before? That would be cool if they were her first.
EleComposer says
March 13, 2020 at 12:02 pmWe’re not sure if she had any watermelon at the zoo, but she has had a lot of it at the sanctuary since her arrival. It’s one of her rewards for training – she really likes it. 🙂
