Smashing Pumpkins With the Elephants

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's three elephants will enjoy a pre-Thanksgiving feast of pumpkins at 1 p.m. Tuesday, November 20. Stop by the Zoo and see if the elephants will smash, eat or smash and eat these tasty treats. The elephants will enjoy more pumpkins on Thanksgiving Day, when all visitors to the Zoo and RainForest receive FREE admission!

Dave: I'm not familiar with the elephant named "Shani." However, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo currently is home to Martika, the female African elephant who moved here from Erie Zoo in 1997. At Erie Zoo, her public name was "Kiah," but to her keepers she has always been known as "Martika" or "Tika." Martika is now 22 years old and doing very well here in Cleveland.

I was there when the elephants got thier pumpkins it was an awesome sight to see i'm just sad that the 3 of them will be leaving so they can build the new elephant crossing i've kind of grown attached to Jo, Moshi and Martika being there. And the song choosen for the video was really cool, the zoo should do more videos of the animals for people to see.
