Elephants Eating

Look at those teeth!

Weaning a baby elephant

Visitors get the chance to feed the elephants with fruit at the park. Note how the elephant uses the trunk to reach out and place the food in the mouth. At the tip of the trunk is a "finger" which is as useful and delicate as the touch of human.

Naturally they also are keen on people hand feeding them. In this case you can see the large teeth of the animal.

Naturally the only time an elephant uses the mouth to take food directly is when it is taking it's mother's milk.

The bottom picture shows a hungry calf suckling his mother.

Special food and snacks suitable for the elephants is available for visitors to feed themselves.
