Jeffrey and I got to feed (throw carrots to) Reba, the Asian Elephant, at the zoo! She's 39 years old (older than me!) and retired from the circus. She's doesn't like to be around the other elephants, so she had the playground all to herself. Right now, she's working on a puzzle to try and get her treats out of the barrell. The fun fact we learned was that you can tell what type of elephant it is based on the ear shape: ears shaped like Asia = Asian Elephants, ears shapred like Africa = African Elephants.
You can see other pictures of our zoo trips on our family website, but this one was my favorite. Our zoo pass runs out in March, so we're trying to use it all we can until then. Hayden, there are more pictures of all the zoo's elephants and videos about them on the zoo's website.

Ears shaped like India are Indian or Asian elephants.
