Baby Elephant Tucker (2nd from left) got to help with clean-up at his Houston Zoo home- click here to see him at work being a big helping boy!
In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, everyone is pitching in to help clean up. At the Houston Zoo, even a baby elephant got in the act.
Tucker the elephant is three years old and has been at the Houston Zoo for about a month with this mother, Tess. Sunday, when it was clear the storm threat had passed and employees were removing tree debris from zoo grounds, the elephant keepers invited Tucker to help.
The young elephant readily accepted and accompanied his keepers to two spots in the zoo not far from the McNair Asian Elephant habitat. He picked up some tree debris, helped with some sweeping up and then went back to the barn to share his experience with his mother and the rest of the herd.
