The Island Safari Centre on Koh Samui is teaching six-year-old Malie and nine-year-old Toktak to use their trunks to perform basketball skills, in an effort to improve their health and vitality. Organizers at the center which cares for the animals, say they undergo rigorous training in order to learn the basics of the game.
The keepers begin by teaching the elephants basic ball control skills, and how to hold the ball in their trunk. The animals are then taught to stand on their hind legs, walk with the ball, and finally, shoot it through the hoop.
