Mother’s Day Event at Fellowship Church! 5/13/12

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

The Zoological Wildlife Foundation was part of a wonderful Mother’s Day event held at Fellowship church!  We brought a Zebra and Judy the Elephant! Everyone was amazed at the animals, and Judy loved the attention. She put on a show for everyone as she bathed herself and splashed water everywhere! I’m sure this is a Mother’s Day Event that people will always remember. To view more photos from the event, then visit the Fellowship Church Mother’s Day Gallery. If you are interested in possibly having Judy at your next event, or any of our other animals, then please visit our animal rental page for more info!

Judy the Elephant @ Jungle Island!

Monday, September 5th, 2011

Judy the Elephant was at Jungle Island for this Labor Day Weekend! In the Photo above she is enjoying a nice “bath” in the water. She was having fun splashing around and feeling the sand too! Judy has done many events and one of those events has been “Circus Night” at Georges Restaurant, visit the Circus Night at George’s Restaurant Gallery to view photos of Judy st George’s Restaurant! If you’d like to have Judy at your next event, then visit our Animal Rental page for more info. Judy is an Asian Elephant. Elephants are extremely intelligent animals and have memories that span many years. It is this memory that serves matriarchs well during dry seasons when they need to guide their herds, sometimes for tens of miles, to watering holes that they remember from the past. They also display signs of grief, joy, anger and play.

Did You Know?

Elephants don’t have bones in their trunk, just muscle, and can use them with extreme dexterity, to pick up and manipulate even very tiny items.

Recent discoveries have shown that elephants can communicate over long distances by producing a sub-sonic rumble that can travel over the ground faster than sound through air. Other elephants receive the messages through the sensitive skin on their feet and trunks. It is believed that this is how potential mates and social groups communicate.
