DENVER — Asian elephants Bodhi and Duncan got into the fall spirit at the Denver Zoo on Thursday by pulverizing and eating a 350-pound pumpkin.
The pumpkin was donated by Brian Deevy, described by the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance (DZCA) as a longtime supporter and "pumpkin-growing enthusiast."
DZCA officials said the "Squish the Squash" event is entertainment for both visitors and elephants, providing the animals stimulation and a delicious treat.
