Elephants are extremely intelligent animals!
They require constant changes and challenges to keep their brains active; otherwise, they get bored and stare blankly.
Therefore, the enrichment for the elephant exhibit is the most complex and the most energy-consuming.
The hills of sand and mud pits in the activity area are created and piled up daily by workers operating small excavators to offer the elephants different terrains each day, filled with the joys of freshness and exploration.
This type of enrichment is unique to a sandy environment.
In fact, a monotonous environment is boring for all animals.
It's just that other exhibits can't undergo such extensive changes, so they can only undergo some detailed enrichment.
Like in the red panda exhibit, where a slide may be added for red pandas, or the position of the perches is shifted around.
