Elephant Smash Giant Pumpkins

They did the mash!
The elephant family stomped and snacked on over 1,200 lbs of pumpkins this morning during our Squishing of the Squash! Big thanks to growers Larry Nelson and Jim Paino for the gourd time! 🎃🐘

Love how that first one had zero hesitation, walked right up and was like "aw yeah its squishing time!!"

I like how everyone cheers every time they smash a pumpkin.

Fun fact: study on fossil droppings revealed that mammoth and other extinct elephant relatives were the main seed disperser for wild pumpkins in North America. Guess the love for pumpkins runs in the family.

I like how it’s a win-win situation for both the people and the elephants. The elephants get some tasty pumpkins while the people listen to the sickening crunch.

I love how in the end every elephant had left but there was one that just kept going like “ there must be more, there must.. “

ha, I like the one guy yelling like he's at a monster truck rally.

I LOVE elephants! Such graceful gentle powerful creatures. They really do like pumpkin!

[earlthepearl]

This is the most satisfying video I have ever watched! Lol
They squash those giant things like they are nothing. Elephant strength is NEVER to be underrated!

I've never understood why people enjoy now!
Wow!
Amazing creatures 💜

[terrencemcnally]

This brings a whole new meaning of smashing pumpkins pun intended 😂😂🤣🤣😅🤣🤣😂

Am I the only one who almost can see human in elephant movements. Like with cats or dogs they are very reactionary, almost insinctual. With elephants it looks like they are thinking and actually planning what they are doing. They are magnificent beings who must be protected.

The first pumpkin sound was soooo satisfying to hear

[samjordan]

By far the best Smashing Pumpkins concert I’ve ever seen but I wish the elephants would’ve played zero

[josephmask]

Don't know why I found this satisfying to watch lol

[ericheine]

I like the way they approach the pumpkin. They do smash it but they do it very gingerly. Elephants sure love pumpkin.
