Mysore/Mysuru: In a bid to create a natural habitat-like surrounding for elephants, Mysuru Zoo has constructed a huge swimming pool at its Chamundi Animal Conservation, Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre in Koorgalli on the outskirts of the city. A video of four elephants swimming in the pool has gone viral on the social media and Zoo of Karnataka has also shared a short clip of the video on its Twitter page, which has received widespread appreciation.
Human beings are not the only ones who need water to beat the heat, elephants too love to soak themselves in cool water, when temperature starts to soar. Also, it is common for elephants to experience pain in their joints and body when they cross 60 years of age and this water body will be very helpful for them to ease the pain.
