Playtime for Kandula

Kandula, the Zoo's elephant calf, needs more durable toys than your average youngster.


One of his favorite toys is a sturdy plastic box.


He enjoys manipulating it,


flipping it over,


standing on it and rocking back and forth—a pretty impressive display of balance—and banging it around to make a lot of noise.

This block, a swinging tire, and other objects give Kandula and the other elephants a variety of ways to exercise their brains and muscles—including tens of thousands of trunk muscles.
