May 11, 2025 (Escondido) -- Elephants at the the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park in Escondido found a cool way to beat the heat during this week's heat wave--holidng their own pool party.
In this video, you'll see the herd's matriarch, Swazi, playing in the water with the youngsters. When one elephant goes in, the others quickly join, which is often initiated by the younger elephants. Teens Khosi and Kami started this "pool party" that lasted about 35 minutes. Play is a great way for the herd to bond.
