Gorillas in the mist got nothin' on Ger-elephants in the mud. Take down the shade and let the rain fall, the elephants will handle the rest. Add a couple tires to toss around and you can entertain a crowd for the whole afternoon. No big surprise that the same natural behaviors in the mud wallow would look a lot like "circus tricks" if you prettied them up and put them in the ring. The trick to training is that there are no tricks at all, just enhancements of that which comes naturally.
