elephant treadmill


So far, it's the trainers at the Alaska Zoo who are breaking a sweat trying to coax Maggie the elephant onto the world's first treadmill for a pachyderm.

Despite months of training using treats to entice the elephant to work out, the sometimes cantankerous African elephant is not much interested in using her treadmill to go for a brisk morning walk, or for that matter an afternoon or evening walk.

Maggie, for the most part, is chilling out.

If I was that elephant, I would get on the treadmill, pretending to be happy, and then smash it with the tree I had hidden behind my trunk.

Maggie is obviously smarter than a human.
