The 500-pound pumpkin — stuffed with lettuce, apples and sweet potatoes — was perfect squishing size for the 18-year-old elephant, who outweighed it by nearly 10,000 pounds.
After the main event, care staff presented Samudra’s little sister, 20-month-old Tula-Tu, with a smaller pumpkin to play with.

It’s bats!
You can help these forest heroes.

We are fortunate to live in a very batty part of the country. At least 15 species of bats call Oregon and Washington home, and thankfully for us, they all eat insects (including mosquitoes and bugs that damage trees). Bats help keep our environment healthy.
You can help bats by choosing non-toxic garden pest control. Garden products like pesticides and fungicides can harm wildlife and pollinators — not just garden pests — and pollute the environment.
