She famously survived a record flood as a zoo elephant by bracing her body between 2 trees and holding her trunk above water for 36 hours. Understandably, she has always been nervous of water but here she is at 54 years old, 41 years after the flood, enjoying a hose bath. by Tardigradelegs I’m actually from Gainesville, that flood happened when I was an infant, this is awesome!
