Anne the Elephant - Latest Update: November
28th November 2011
Anne the elephant has had another couple of visits from her osteopath over the past month who is very happy with her progress since arriving at Longleat earlier in the year. Her muscle tone is much improved and getting better all the time.
Lots of work is being done on Anne’s feet still, and even her keepers are now in need of an osteopath!
Anne’s outdoor area has been resurfaced with 200 tonnes of sand having been put down which will provide her with a softer surface for her to walk on. Keepers have also put up another tree trunk in there, which she is taking great delight in trying to knock over with a small amount of success.
The plans for her grass paddock have been finalised and work is very advanced on the fabrication of this, so hopefully this will be getting put up very soon. Also the steel work is moving on for her new shelter in her yard.
As always everyone concerned with Anne’s welfare at Longleat are working continually to ensure she gets the best possible care.
