On this day, Sooky and Booper spent the day in other groups, then reunited for the night. And when you haven’t seen your bestie all da

Making a splash into #AsianElephantAwarenessMonth with Sooky! 🐘 Elephants employ a range of bathing techniques, including immersing themselves in water, utilizing their trunks to shower and employing sand or dirt for exfoliation. They have special adaptations to regulate their temperature, like fanning their ears and leveraging their skin to release excess heat. Bathing is a crucial method for temperature control, particularly in warmer environments. | Tulsa Zoo
