Elephants are beautiful and majestic creatures! Their intensely large size shows everyone that they are not to be messed with! Their big floppy ears are nothing short of awwdorable. These gentle giants never fail to make us smile. Elephants seem to really enjoy their bath/water time! Even in this case, when bath time is accompanied by a healing skin treatment.
The vet team uses a special type of tree bark to bath the elephant, almost using it as a substitute for soap. They carefully massage the bark into the skin of the elephant in an attempt to alleviate the skin issues. They give him a good thorough scrubbing from head to toe making sure they miss no spots!
