@birdsandbats Indeed and I look forward to seeing one swim about. When at Hannover I am told two or three were in the water up until the moment I walked up to the enclosure...
That stinks. The first (and only) time I have seen it was at Saint Louis this summer. I am told that in the past Circus World Museum (Baraboo, WI) brought all their elephants to the Baraboo River (that runs through the facility) every day, but they no longer do this.
