Escondido, California - It’s fall, and the elephant herd at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park celebrated the season today, by chowing down on a massive pumpkin treat. The 370-pound prized pumpkin donated by a private contributor was cleaned out and stuffed with the elephants’ favorite treats, including cucumber, carrots, celery, and alfalfa pellets. Herd members took their time eating all the yummy delights stuffed inside the pumpkin—getting at them through a hole at the top of the gigantic white gourd before using their feet to smash it to pieces. The two youngest elephants were especially curious about the pumpkin, watching their older relatives eat it, and learning how to interact with the new food item. Animal care staff said surprising the elephants with the large pumpkin is a great way to encourage natural behaviors and witness the herd’s relationship dynamics in action.
