Photo 04: Tina Gets a Bath at San Diego Zoo

January 1990 San Diego Zoo This zoo goes to some lengths to keep elephants active and involve visitors in the elephant program. One way they do this is with daily bathing of their herd members up close and personal for the enjoyment of people watching the process. Tina responds to commands to lie down for scrubbing.
After her 'official' bath, Tina gets to sit up and play in the water. All of us watching, especially the children, were delighted with Tina's antics. She obviously enjoyed us too. Photos by Wayne Hepburn
