Fun FIAT Adventures in El Paso - Part 2

Hello - it's me again. I'm just here to tell you about more "fun stuff" happening in El Paso.

Did you know this past weekend was the 11th Annual Elephant Festival at the El Paso Zoo? Forget sitting on your butt at home watching shark week, tell me about Savannah and Juno, our two Asian elephants at the zoo. To start the day, you can sign up to have breakfast with the elephants and experience a behind the scenes presentation with the elephant's trainers. You can also watch the elephants enjoy a bubble-gum flavored bubble bath, check out a video on Savannah visiting the dentist, watch the elephants beat down their very own pinata and participate in the elephant produce hunt.

I personally was able to participate in the produce hunt with the elephants, which was pretty cool. The elephant trainers moved the elephants out of their "living area" and brought us in to hide their food all around their exhibit. Apparently, they want to have the food "hidden" and scattered across the area because it's fun for the elephants and keeps their mind strong. One of the elephants kept peaking through a space in the rocks to see where everyone was hiding the food. When I was taking a picture next to the cheater, she reached through the crack and tried "cop a feel" if you know what I mean.
