A young elephant calf and mom examine a paper mache Easter egg in their habitat at the North Carolina Zoo Saturday. Although the paper eggs, filled with food treats, have become a yearly Easter-time enrichment item for many of the park's animals, Saturday marked the first time that the elephants have received them.
What a great photo, although I wish there were more. No funny video with them smashing the eggs??
I agree with Britteny, I think a video would have been great. But the pics are nice, we just want more!
I went to a similar event at my local zoo, Zoo Atlanta. The keepers hid Jello eggs, and paper mache eggs full of treats, for two of the gorilla families. Hundreds of people came out to watch and the gorillas really seemed to enjoy it.
How great. It’s like the old saying, “A bull in a China Shope”, but they look so gentle with the eggs. Gail
