The Elephant Sanctuary | Shirley Hurdles

EleCam Encounter from 3/11/14 on the Asia Barn camera -
Shirley demonstrates some agility and determination in "hurdling" a log in her habitat. She could have walked around the obstacle...but Shirley chose a more direct route. With warmer weather here to stay (hopefully), Shirley will likely soon be leaving the barn area behind and heading deeper into the habitat to resume her schedule of wandering the hundreds of acres to which she has access.
