Bali Zoo does it again with another first in elephant experiences. The new Elephant Mud Fun half-day package allows you to get down and dirty with friendly Sumatran elephants while discovering all about their behavior and lifestyle from the experienced mahout handlers.

During your visit, you’ll learn interesting facts about the species.  For example,  it is common to find elephants basking in mud during the summer months because their high body temperature generates a great deal of metabolic heat. Additionally elephants do not have sweat glands to relieve their internal thermometers so they rely on mud to stay cool.  The mud also protects them from the heat of the sun because even though their hide looks tough, elephants can actually get sunburned.

Duration: 7 hours
