Elephants on a walk

Today, after a long break, elephants Dinkar and Shanti were reunited in the same enclosure in Mykolaiv Zoo. It was incredibly interesting to observe the behavior of animals at that time. When the gates were opened, the elephants first "changed" enclosures. The brawler Dinkar ran into the enclosure where Shanti is usually kept, and started playing with specially installed "toys" in the enclosure – logs suspended on ropes, tires, tied with ropes, he pounded the bell and trumpeted loudly at the same time. Shanti tried hay from the hanging feeder located in Dinkar's enclosure. Well, and then, of course, the friends engaged in the favorite business of all young men – they began to measure their strength and find out "who is the boss here". And the elephants have a lot to do: douse themselves with water from a hose, sprinkle with hay, play, scratch the back of their bodies while sitting by the pool (by the way, have you ever seen a sitting elephant?).

We bring to your attention a selection of interesting photos of Dinkar and Shanti.
