Frieda at Bat

Frieda at Bat
Frieda was another beloved elephant at the Cleveland Zoo. She is shown doing some publicity for the zoo by swinging a baseball bat for the crowd of observers. The elephant school would train the elephants to do tricks simialr to those seen in circus performances. Today's elephants do not perform in shows but they can show us what they might act like naturally.
