Zookeepers created an egg-stra special Easter activity for the zoo's youngest elephant today (Wednesday 31 March), to kick off the Easter bank holiday weekend. Four-year old Elizabeth is the youngest of the Zoo’s herd of endangered Asian elephants, was treated to an unusual egg-hunt - each of the huge, colourful eggs hidden by her keepers was in fact a giant watermelon, her favourite treat, decorated with edible paint. With no visitors this Easter bank holiday, the Zoo’s hard-working team of keepers are taking extra efforts to ensure that the animals don’t miss out on the fun. With that in mind, the Zoo’s elephant keepers created the unique ele-egg-hunt to stimulate the young elephant’s natural curiosity and scavenging skills.
