Nine Asian elephants at Berlin Zoo take their first outdoor bath. The elephant trainer had to adopt different tactics for bathing the elephant, he used fruits including apples to help the elephants overcome hesitation and step into the cold water. The elephants played in the water. During the winter months, the elephants were given daily showers because a daily wash helps elephants to keep their skin flora intact. The elephants feel a little lighter in the water.
