A short film about Arun’s winter adventure January 18, 2018

Winter is all fun and frolicking for our November-born baby elephant. He happily slides on the ice like a real child, gets really excited when cracking the ice on puddles with his feet and enjoys chasing the pigeons landing in his enclosure.

Our latest short film shows a selection from Arun’s winter adventures. At this time of the year, animals originating in warmer climates spend most of their day in heated pavilions and stalls, but weather permitting they may be let out to their outdoor enclosure for longer or shorter periods of time without any problem. This is also the case for elephants; we let them out every day, weather permitting, to get some fresh air.

Snow is nothing special for Arun the baby elephant anymore, since he already saw some in late November and early December. But it was only recently that enough snow fell to allow real fun-and playtime in the outdoor areas. The growing elephant calf is happy to fling himself into the winter frolics, as real kids do. He slides around on the ice, gets really excited when cracking the ice on puddles with his feet and very much enjoys chasing the pigeons landing in his enclosure. Of course it is good to return afterwards to rolex replica watches mummy Angele for a bit of a cuddle and of course a few gulps of milk.
