    The elephant family stomped and snacked on over 1,200 lbs of pumpkins this morning during our Squishing of the Squash! Big thanks to growers Larry Nelson and Jim Paino for the gourd time! 🎃🐘
    Thank you for watching, and if you can, please help us continue our mission by making a donation. www.oregonzoo.org/donate

    Fun fact: study on fossil droppings revealed that mammoth and other extinct elephant relatives were the main seed disperser for wild pumpkins in North America. Guess the love for pumpkins runs in the family.

The entire place smelled god awful. The poop to enclosure ratio was not good. I don't even think the Toronto zoo has elephants anymore. They moved them across country to be in a bigger zoo. Mind you, the Toronto Zoo isn't small at all. Giant animals aren't made for zoos, they need huge places to roam. Zoos shouldn't be holding giant animals.
      *Edit:*
      I just did a quick google search and the Toronto zoo transferred them to a sanctuary. "The three elephants were transported to the PAWS sanctuary in California on October 16, 2013"
      Good for the Toronto professional staff for sending them to sanctuaries instead of another zoo.

      I think they know? Someone else said they (or at least their ancestors) were the main eaters of pumpkins throughout the world, and the wildest thing about elephants is that they have generational memory: ie their children are born knowing through inherited memory where to get food and how to eat it (even if their mother dies when they're born) so they definitely know about pumpkins, like how to smash them and how to eat em. :) I'm assuming they only put food in front of them to eat at the zoo cause they have set feeding times hehe so they're just gentle giants not wanting to be too messy maybe 🥰

      Imagine how people were 5,000 years ago without God’s True Book. How would they have known how they were
      supposed to live? How would they have known how they were supposed to be in order to please their Creator? So
      God gave the law of Moses back then. This law was for the people to know how to be. They saw what God expected
      out of them. God had high expectations from the Israelites. Why shouldn't He? Should He drop His expectations for
      love and grace? If He drops His expectations to accommodate what man wants, then He compromised His
      perfection for man’s imperfection. Does a Perfect God compromise His perfection?
      So God has expectations once He tells His creation how He wants things. His love and grace gives His creation time
      to change. He is willing to help them change if they ask Him. Then His creation, while repenting or changing to do
      His will, see His Beauty. This is a relationship formed now with the Creator. If He is the Most Beautiful Being, which
      He is, how can His creation not want to obey Him? How can His creation not want to please Him? The reason why is
      because of foolishness. Man loves his own foolishness rather than God’s wisdom, Jn 3:19. Man loves his sin. If
      anyone loves himself, he will stay in sin. So man who stays in sin rejects his perfect Creator or Father, and
      exchanges it for his own foolishness.
      So now fast forward to today where we have God’s True Book. We officially know what God wants. God gave His
      creation a big help, the Word, to show us how He wants us to live. If we follow His perfect teachings, we all live
      with perfect peace, love, joy and unity. This is His perfect design for His children's lives. When we go against His
      perfect design for what we want, sin, we throw away that perfect plan. We throw away that perfect peace, love, joy
      and unity. Giving up these things is foolish. So sinning against God proves to be the worst plan for us!
      God wanted to help mankind. God wanted to save man from his foolishness. He wanted to help us the best way
      possible because He is Good. The best and only way to do it, as God saw fit, was to give mankind His Son. Why? The
      Son is the Word, Jn 1:1. The Word always obeys the Father's will. The Father's will is spoken through His Word.
      The Word proceeds forth from the Father's will and mind. So the Word that God speaks is the pure sequel to what
      was inside the Father's mind and heart. Jesus is that perfection manifest. He is the physical embodiment of God's
      will and thought. God's will and thought is expressed through His Word. Jesus, the human part, is the perfect,
      physical expression of God. Jesus, the human part that walked this earth, came to teach us the perfect will of God.
      How? He did this by example. This is why Jesus walked this earth perfectly without sinning.
      So Jesus taught us perfectly. He even was willing to die not only death, but the death He did not deserve since He
      never sinned against God the Father. He chose to give His life. That's why Jesus says no man forces Him to lay down
      His life, He chose to lay it down, Jn 10:18. God wanted to save mankind. Jesus wants what the Father wants. The
      Word always obeys the will. He shed even His perfect, pure blood for us. His blood is the fulfillment of perfect
      obedience to the Father. Why? Because the Son asked 3 times in the Garden, "Take my cup not by my will but by
      yours." The Father said the Son still had to shed His blood on the cross. The Son obeyed the Father's will over His
      own. So the blood was shed for that purpose. Nobody else had that kind of blood. Nobody else pleased the Father
      perfectly like the Son. So now instead of the law of Moses showing us the way to live rightly in God's eyes, we have
      the Son. This is the New Covenant. In Jesus and His blood, we now obey Him instead of the Mosaic law as part of
      this new agreement between man and God. So as man wants to live rightly to please His Creator, man now must
      turn to the Word of the Creator. So obeying the perfect teachings of Jesus brings us to how God wants us to live.
      The Son conquered the grave. The grave is the end of all who sin. The grave is the payment for sin. Satan founded
      the grave. How? Because Satan started death by being the first to sin against Almighty God. Jesus destroyed Satan's
      creation and fulfills the very first prophecy spoken of the Savior in Genesis 3:15. That's why Jesus came to
      "...destroy the works of the devil," 1 Jn 3:8. Satan came to ruin God's Creation with sin. Jesus came to ruin Satan's
      creation, death, with perfect obedience, which His blood shed proves. That's why in His blood, there is life. So the
      Gospel is God's reconciliation with man. How? Only through the Son. If you disobey the Son, you disobey the
      Father. Jesus says, “He who has seen me has seen the Father,” Jn 14:9. Repent and accept Jesus as Your Lord NOW!!!
      Then start to read the Gospels and obey His commands. Follow Jesus only, no other man, no religion. Only Jesus.

      They know that it will end badly for everyone if they do. Mostly only humans and other elephants can do deadly wound to an elephant. So they learned to be patient and that food tend to grow everywhere so no need to fight.

      You are at the top of the pyramid, you have reason and a body able to create wonderful things, and you feel jealous for animals because some of them are faster, stronger and able to fly, dive, etc? I don't understand this mentality. Both animals and humans were created by God with different roles, embrace it.

    I've had a life long love for elephants. I used to beg my mom for one as a pet and would cry (as a little girl less than 10) because I didn't understand why I couldn't have one. It broke her heart to know she couldn't give me something that I wanted so badly so she began purchasing elephant figurines for me off and on as gifts. I still have them today and am glad that she couldn't get me a real one. They belong in their own environment and not in what small area I could give them.

    And the herd would literally cut a massive path through the forest as it went along.
