Asian Elephants at the Houston Zoo in Texas participate in yoga-like stretching exercises to enhance their muscle groups and provide mental and physical stimulation. The elephants, including a 40-year-old mother of four and a 54-year-old matriarch, are given special treats to motivate their movement. The stretching sessions also allow zookeepers to observe the elephants' physiques and range of motion, with any abnormalities being examined by a team of veterinarians. The practice of yoga is believed to benefit the elephants both physically and cognitively.
