The Elephant Sanctuary | The Great Pumpkin Drop

A trailer full of pumpkins was donated to The Sanctuary last week by Jaime Dudney and Gary Sheibler from The Fontanel Mansion in Nashville, TN. The elephants chased rolling pumpkins, toppled pumpkin towers, squashed pumpkins under foot -- and of course ate them. The Great Pumpkin Drop was a perfect "enrichment" event for this season.

Located 85 miles southwest of Nashville in Hohenwald, Tenn., The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee provides elephants retired from performance and exhibition with individualized care, the companionship of a herd, and the opportunity to live out their lives in a safe haven dedicated to their well-being. The Sanctuary also works to raise public awareness of the complex needs of elephants in captivity, and the crisis facing elephants in the wild. The Elephant Discovery Center, The Sanctuary’s educational center with exhibits focused on elephants’ role as a keystone species, is open to visitors in downtown Hohenwald.
