Maybe I am weird, but that elephant on that rock...what if it fell off it...seems a strange thing for keepers to do...

The elephants should have went to the open range zoo in werribee.

They would have had much more space there to move around. I personally feel the elephant enclosure at Melbourne Zoo is cruel its just not big enough.

I believe it had something to do with having to artificially inseminate her

I will see what i can find-she if there are any other 1/2 decent ones there. my camera doesnt work the best in the dim conditions

Love the red lorrie.

He (it) was great, spent a while 'chatting' to it, came right up, didnt mind a scratch on the beak

It was part of the elephants training Fay, so they could get her positioned properly to impregnate her using AI

He was prob doing is mixing a cocktail of grass tufts and poo. He mixes them up and make little poo patties. When he makes enough of them he jumps up runs and throws them all over the people standing and gawking at him. classic.

The elephants didnt seem to be that happy.

Bong Su certainaly didnt.

It is one of the animals there that i dont really think should be there (however if they ever give them a few hectares to roam i may reconsider)
