Unusual for this time of the year, the weather changed dramatically, and on the 15th March 2011 we had rain for three days and nights with the temperature dropping from a healthy 37 C to an overnight low of 12 C. Not only did this affect some of the Staff, but also 4 of our Elephants who developed a cold. After some medication, and a rest, they all recovered nicely but at one stage we even bought some “jumbo’ sized blankets to keep them warm. After the temperature increased the elephants were back to their normal happy selves.
