Elephant sound

Well, today was a very busy day at the zoo....

Today was Celebrate Elephants Day. Keepers gave tours of the elephant barn. Alan, Elena, and I went to see an elephant training demonstration. We saw Osh the male elephant. Osh is the biggest one - 9,000 pounds, 9 feet high. He really looks very big. But he's not done growing yet, apparently. When he's full grown he wil weigh 14,000 pounds and will be 12 feet high. That is huge...... I can't even imagine an elephant that big.

The pen they have for cleaning the elephants is only 11 feet high. So how will they clean Osh????

Then.... one of the giraffes started giving birth - right in the middle of the exhibit. Alan said there were a million people watching.... The keepers tried to get her to move into the back area, but she was where she was. No moving. And no one wants to give her any privacy.

I don't know how animals feel about giving birth in front of "millions of people." Do they care? Maybe.

Anyway, now I will do nothing. I got a lot accomplished yesterday, so I will just.... do nothing.

And mom said she would make a post.
