Meet Jambo, the towering savannah elephant whose presence commands respect and admiration. Weighing over six tons, Jambo is the largest resident of the zoo and a gentle giant beloved by visitors and keepers alike.
Jambo’s day begins with a hearty breakfast of hay, fruits, and vegetables, which he devours with the dexterity of his trunk. But Jambo is more than just a voracious eater; he’s also a playful and curious soul. His keepers regularly hide treats around his enclosure, encouraging him to use his remarkable sense of smell and intelligence to find them.
One memorable day, during a special enrichment session, Jambo amazed everyone by using a large stick to knock down a suspended bundle of bananas. His problem-solving skills and persistence left visitors cheering. Jambo also enjoys cooling off in his mud wallow, playfully spraying water over himself and anyone nearby. His antics remind us of the importance of conserving these magnificent creatures and their habitats.
