Elephants at Work and Play Show
The show is at elephants of Asia, show time at 1130am & 330pm daily.
Do you know?
Elephants have special lung tissue which allows them to "snorkel" underwater, according to a US scientist.
Dr John West found African elephants to have denser tissue than other mammals around their lungs which enabled them to breathe while submerged in a lake, apart from the tips of their trunks.
He said the special tissue meant they could withstand the pressure of being underwater.
But a UK expert doubted Dr West's theory and told BBC News Online the reason elephants could breathe while underwater was simply that they stuck their trunks up above the surface.
Ha Ha... cute right.
