Dedicated keepers at Woburn Safari Park organised a sugar cane feast for the trio

Keepers at Woburn Safari Park organised a sugar cane feast for female Asian elephants Tarli, Chandrika and Damini to celebrate World Elephant Day on August 12.

Keepers loaded an intricate feeding tool with the tasty sugar cane, which encourages the elephants to use their dexterous trunks to seek out food - as they would do in the wild!

The trio couldn't wait to get stuck into their latest enrichment activity and could be seen munching tasty sugar cane and could even be heard trumpeting with excitement.

Wish them a happy World Elephant Day!
