http://www.houstonzoo.org School's back in session for everyone, including Mac! This semester Mac is taking Retrieve 101. He actually began the course a few months ago but the keepers took a break for the summer. Now the lessons have started again and as you can see in the accompanying video, Mac is proving to be a good student. The keepers have taught all the elephants to retrieve objects from the exhibit. In this lesson Mac is learning with a small piece of a tree limb about an inch and a half in diameter. As his skills develop, keepers will vary the object being retrieved.
