Juno and Savannah...Continued

Juno and Savannah are trained to hold their feet up so the zookeepers can wash and trim their toe nails.

 

 

 
   
 

The zookeepers make sure that Savannah and Juno always have enough food to keep them happy and healthy.  Elephants will eat about 100 pounds of hay everyday and sometimes they get a lot of fruits and veggies to go with their hay.

 

Inside the elephant’s exhibit there is a watering hole where Juno and Savannah can play and splash in the cool water.

 

 

The water feels good on a hot summer day.  An elephant can hold 2 ½ gallons of water in its trunk.
 

Many people visit the zoo every year to see the animals.  At the zoo adults and children can learn a lot about animals and their natural habitats.  A natural habitat is where animals live in the wild.
