I think they used an elephant ball in the first Indiana Jones movie, where it chased him out of some sort of tunnel...

Great quote: "At 9,000 lbs., she was slightly heavy for an elephant."

Is that how Kirstie Alley lost her weight, by hiding food around her mansion?
"Oooohh-found some rice cakes by the jacuzzi!!"

Will the elephant be watching ZNN while strolling along, hour after hour, on the treadmill?

...zoo officials and an Idaho company studied mining equipment and treadmills used for race horses and racing camels...
Since when does anyone use mining equipment on race horses and racing camels?
Oh, wait...never mind.

I, for one, am against making treadmills out of elephants.

fyi, the audio of the interview is a LOT longer than what they printed, i'm told (i haven't listened to it all yet); the link is under the photo.

maybe they can get the e'phant to power the electricity for the zoo while she's at it. can she go on 'biggest losers' when she's done? but maybe she isnt fat. she could be retaining water.

She lost 1000 pounds by using a treadmill???!!!
When I used my treadmill all I did was break my foot - hmmmph!

Future plans: Installation of a gigantic sauna and a juice bar.

I can't wait to see the giant water bottle they hang on the side of the cage.

Thanks judi - I only read the transcript the other day - very funny, very Dave!
*reads this*
Duh!

I bet that by next year every zoo will have its own "Curves" franchise on site.

The only complication was the elephant habitrail that came with it.

Why can't they get Maggie another elephant for a friend? Then they can go to spinning class together.
