Asian Elephant Samudra Has A Pool Party
Sun's out trunks out!
After a long, cold winter, spring has finally sprung at the Oregon Zoo, and one resident in particular is diving in headfirst — trunk and all. Samudra, the 14-year-old adolescent male of the Asian elephant family, made quite a splash in the pool at Elephant Lands.
He dove for treats of apple and honeydew melon, and playfully splashed with his feet and trunk. After a quick break in the sun, Samudra plunged back into the 160,000-gallon pool for another swim.
