Yesterday, several of the exhibit guides and myself got a behind the scenes look at the Phoenix Zoo. We spent some time with the Elephant keepers to learn more about the Asian elephants and their exhibit. Part of the tour including feeding the elephants. Here are some of the photos from Wednesday's adventures.
A little Lemon flavored Gatorade before mixing with water
Cookies please!
Found out the record for cookies fed to an elephant at the zoo was 17 by Shaquille O'Neal and his kids. I went for 18. The elephant only took 7!
Waiting for her snack. The Elephants eat 150 lbs of food per day!
