You read it right. A mother and a daughter consume over 810 kg of food every day. Don’t be shocked. We are not talking about human beings. We are talking about (probably) the cutest animal, the Elephant. Vishakhapatnam is known for its beautiful beaches and amazing scenic views. The city is also home to a zoo park, which features rare specials and endangered animals. One can find white tigers too.
Recently, two new visitors have come to the zoo, which could well be their home from hereon. Two elephants, Saraswati and Lakshmi, were brought from Aurangabad to the Vizag (Vishakhapatnam) zoo. Saraswati and Lakshmi are mother and daughter. They are slowly, but steadily adapting to the new environment, and are currently a treat for the visitors.
Shockingly, both these elephants are reminding of Lord Bhima. Together, they consume over 1000 kg food every day. Their menu consists of, 650 kg green grass, 20 kg cattle feed, 10 kg of Raagi balls, 5 kg jaggery Rice, 5 kg chickpeas, 10 coconuts, 75 kg sugarcane plants, 5 watermelons, 400+ bananas, 50 kg banyan tree and peepal tree leaves and others.
Along with Saraswati and Lakshmi, two more elephants; Krishna and Raju are amusing the visitors.
