Elephant Celebrate Her Fortieth

BENIDORM’S Terra Natura held a party last week to celebrate the fortieth birthday of one of its female elephants, ‘Petita’. The animal has only recently been integrated into the herd as previously it was shunned by the other animals, according to a statement of the park, for “not being up to standards of beauty of the species.” This was not elaborated on further…. She was given 20 kilos of apples as a birthday treat, being a fifth of her normal daily intake of fruit.
