The Only Elephant In Alaska

Nature "The Alaska Zoo has been trying to coax its elephant, Maggie, onto the world's first elephant treadmill for two months. But so far, the stubborn and sometimes moody elephant has shown more interest in treats than exercise. She's not about to take up jogging. The treadmill was custom-made for Maggie amid much fanfare, then delivered to the zoo in September. It is one of the key items in the zoo's plan to improve the controversial living conditions of the pachyderm." -- Megan Holland of Anchorage Daily News

I'm not surprised. The thing looks like a death trap. If I was the only elephant in Alaska I wouldn't go anywhere near it either.
