Chester Zoo Elephant question

Hi,

On a visit to the zoo last week we noticed that two of the elephants - Sheba and Thi - were swaying. I've seen Thi doing this before, but not Sheba. We guessed thta it might be something to do with them being indoors for so long as I know this behaviour is related to boredom sometimes. I was concerned to see that Sheba was still doing it now that they're outside again.
Does anyone know more about this behaviour, and if the habit can be unlearned please?
