Breaking radio silence for a quick zombie elephant update!

[blamebrampton]

Mr Shuffles, Sydney's favourite zombie baby elephant (see previous post), continued his career of attempting to Freak Everyone Out today by deciding to fall into deep water. Mum and aunties and zookeepers all intervened very neatly. I defy anyone to watch that video and not be as charmed by elephants as I am. And yes, I know they are wild animals and have come across a number out in the wild when Dad and I did our overland through East Africa trip. But even big bloody African ones are fascinating, and the sort of animal you hope to negotiate shared space with, and ideally can.

I love the way that the elephants and the keepers work together on the rescue! Clearly very good relationships between all species in that enclosure!

We've watched the clip several times, now :) We've both remarked upon how well the keepers and the elephants work together to rescue Shuffles the Amazing Zombie Elephant. Small Girl squees ;)
