Zookeepers To Install Elephant Treadmill

POSTED: 9:57 am PST March 25, 2005

BOISE, Idaho -- It's not easy being a pudgy pachyderm.

Officials at the Alaska Zoo said their elephant, Maggie, "could stand to lose a couple of hundred pounds."

The question is how to make that happen. Everyone's been weighing in, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

But the zoo in Anchorage has come up with a plan. They're going to install the world's first elephant treadmill. It's being made by an engineering firm in Boise, Idaho.

1. Why is an elephant living in Alaska?
That just isn't fair to the poor beast.
