A Big, Big Story: Ceylon;'s Elephants Can stop The Show
The Zoological Gardens of Ceylon can boast the best-stocked Zoo in Asia and the biggest attraction, by far, is their herd of elephants. Two of the zoo keepers have handled their charges since they came to the Gardens and each day at tea-time the elephants jump at the chance to put on a show for the crowds. High Angle Show - Swans swimming in a pond sharing it with two elephants who are standing belly deep in the water. Elephant laying on its side in the pool getting scrubbed down by its keeper. Elephants queuing in line holding each other's tail with their trunks escorted by their handlers. A large crowd is sitting on the grass waiting to see the show put on by the elephants and the handlers. Dancing Elephant. Elephants spinning around on a metal thing to handle the weight of the spinning elephants. Members of the audience applauding and smiling. One of the trainers lay on the ground and the Elephant slowly lowers herself on her knees over her handler. The trainer puts his whole entire head in the elephant's mouth and gently the elephant lifts the trainer up by his head. Elephants sitting down on this man made elephant trick apparatus.
