Elephant Bath

 


Today I helped bathe an elephant for the first time. I got to scrub her ears and pet her trunk. She was so sweet to me.

 

All the details of my visit with soon be posted on the National Geographic Inside WILD blog. There are LOTS of exciting things in the works, so I hope you'll check out the site.

What was 'hosenose's' name??? She is so cute. Did she LIKE being bathed? Did she wonder who you were (as opposed to her 'regular' helpers)?
