Houston, TX - In Houston, residents are having a hard time removing debris from their yards, after Hurricane Ike. So, some animals from the Houston Zoo are giving them a hand…a trunk, rather.
The 2,600 pound elephant, named ‘Tucker,‘ is moving tree limbs.
The three-year-old elephant can lift four times its body weight. Zookeepers say it’s good exercise for Tucker.
