2018年2月28日(水)Happy Birthday Fuyumi-Tonkun!

February 25th was the birthday of Asian elephant [Fuyumi-Tonkun].
She finally became 10 years old. 
I made a gift for her with the help of intern student.

They made her name using steamed corn grains!
She was also curious♪

As I brought it, she started eating it in just a sec!

She seemed to like corn, she gathered small pieces and got to eat cleanly.
She has grown steadily since she came in kyoto at 6 years old. 
Alongside 47 years old elephant, Mito, it seems to be about the same size.

But she is only 10 years old.
Please watch her grow together.
