Elephant food!
4 Answers
Hi, I've been following a heffalumps progress on a zoo web cam since its birth , every so often they seem to feed them sticks which they just seem to eat the bark off of� quite amusing to watch!!
Would this be bamboo? It doesn't look like it, it just looks like sticks!! Is it just something to keep them entertained!?

You�ll have to select �Elephants� from the drop down menu and you have control of the camera, about lunchtime they let them out into a paddock behind the camera so you have to spin it about 120 degrees and you can zoom in and whatnot.
There�s two little ones who are at the �playing� stage and are hilarious and the real bubba who�s always with it�s mum. Very intriguing to watch the interaction!
The sticks they eat are in the paddock and they seem to eat them like a corn on the cob with a lathe like action then fling them over their shoulder like a discarded chicken bone!
Enjoy - and don�t hog the camera!! ;-)
