Check out the lovely pics of Beth Allen with the gentle giants at Auckland Zoo.
| To help promote the Adopt an Animal programme at the zoo, Shortland Street stars Beth Allen (Brooke Freeman), Amanda Billing (Sarah Potts), Ido Drent (Daniel Potts) and Kimberley Crossman (Sophie MacKay) went to meet their adopted friends, the elephants Kashin and Burma.
They spent time in their company feeding & cleaning them – looks like a fun day was had! |
There is an article about it on the Shortland Street site. Beth said the following:
“It was hilarious! Kashin was happy to lie there being washed by everyone (and being fed), while Burma was a bit more impatient. She kept trying to wander away and attempting to bribe me for more bananas.
“I would highly recommend a Zoom Encounter [a close up tour of the zoo] to anyone. I felt absolutely elated, with a huge amount of respect and admiration for these beautiful animals and the dedicated team who take care of them.”

Aww those pics with the elephants are so cute!
She sure looks like she is enjoying it.
I saw that TV programme the other week where they did a autopsy on an elephant… They’re such amazing creatures.
You did beat me this time. LOL Loved the article as well. Beth seemed to be really enjoying herself.
I kept looking at your site wondering how come it’s not up there?!?! So I went ahead and put it up on here. Lol.
For Beth my first stop is usually Google, then Shortland Street/TVNZ then your site and sometimes when I can be bothered theAlist (which take along time to go through their photos!)
