Juno and Savannah...Continued
 |
The zookeepers will hide special treats in the exhibit for Savannah and Juno. The elephants like peanut butter and like to chew and eat different kinds of leaves. Juno and Savannah enjoy looking for the treats.
|
||
|
The zookeepers will also dig up the dirt in the elephants exhibit to keep it soft. The soft dirt feels good on the elephant’s feet. The machine they use to dig is called a Bobcat.
|
|||
|
Behind the elephant exhibit is an area where the elephants go at night or when the weather is too cold for them to stay outside. It is called the barn.
|
|||
|
Every morning
inside the barn the elephants get a bath. Elephants in the wild will
take a bath everyday if they can find water. To give Savannah and
Juno a bath the zookeepers use a big brush and a lot of baby shampoo.
|
|||
|
Elephant’s will throw dirt and mud on their back to protect their skin from the sun and insect bites. Savannah and Juno’s bath time keeps their skin clean and healthy.
