- They did the mash!
The elephant family stomped and snacked on over 1,200 lbs of pumpkins this morning during our Squishing of the Squash! Big thanks to growers Larry Nelson and Jim Paino for the gourd time! đđ
Thank you for watching, and if you can, please help us continue our mission by making a donation. www.oregonzoo.org/donate
Fun fact: study on fossil droppings revealed that mammoth and other extinct elephant relatives were the main seed disperser for wild pumpkins in North America. Guess the love for pumpkins runs in the family.
Hah!, very cool fun fact!
Thank you for the fact! Thatâs cool to know!
Thank you!
That's awesome! Do you still have the name of the study?
Saw this on reddit! đđ
Elephants crushing pumpkins makes such a satisfying sound, it's like elephant ASMR
I know right. Who would of thought
It's going to be their rock and roll band name " Elephants Crunching Pumpkins" I hear they need some help with finding a manger.
I couldnât turn off bc the sound of crunchy pumpkins!
Hearing them crush is a pleasure I can't explain or ever knew existed.
The pumpkins fall apart so easily it's like they're crushing styrofoam.
Love how that first one had zero hesitation, walked right up and was like "aw yeah its squishing time!!"
I really liked when the elephant said "It is squishing time!" And squished all over the place. Truly one of the animals of all time
@@incvnsit I forgot to laugh, that's how funny you are

I like how everyone cheers every time they smash a pumpkin.
Me too! The cheering made me laugh - let's hope the elephants heard cheering and not jeeringđ
Right ? like dude that could be yo head
I personally hate the cheering. It strikes me as superficial. Imagine what mind state you would have to be in to go "whooooooaa" when watching something else eat something... with a camera obviously rolling. Touristy superficial "ooohs" and "aaaahs" disgust me.
@@hoi-polloi905 donât be so bitter dude. Just let people have their fun and I highly doubt that watching an elephant crush a pumpkin is something theyâve seen before
@@mincraffkoolistgam4557 you're right. Maybe I was projecting my own narcissism onto the onlookers.
I've never seen anything being this gentle about crushing something
yes you have. ever dealt with an egg?
@@tuttwith2ts thatâs not an egg itâs a pumpkin
@@Queer_Elizabeth what?
@@Queer_Elizabeth erm??? The first person was saying that they've never seen anything be gentle when it comes to crushing things, and the other person replied to them and said "eggs" as an *example* of something that is crushed gently. They aren't saying that pumpkins are eggs lol
@@gink_ie who the fuck crushes eggs? You crack eggs. These phants are exploding pumpkins all over the ground.
Pumpkin season for Elephants is equivalent to humans finding a roll of bubble wrap that no one has popped any bubbles on
And Iâm here for this!!!!
I love this comment so much
:)
And the bubble wrap is good food
But with a lot More fiber
I like how itâs a win-win situation for both the people and the elephants. The elephants get some tasty pumpkins while the people listen to the sickening crunch.
Elephant asmr
Sounds like walking on thick, wet snow.
Also for the pumbkins, because their seed Will be spread!
I'd be proud if those were my pumpkins. Feeding these magnificent creatures and seeing them enjoying themselves so much :)
Do you grow pumpkins?
@@johnnyssik pumpkins grow him
@@johnnyssik yes! They grow quicker than other, very nice
Also, those are insanely huge, I could live in one of those pumpkins
You want an elephant to smash your pumpkins. Okay.
the fact that they can just do a small steppe and it crushes so easily is kind of terrifying. but they're just too cute đđ
Well, yeah. They were actually being a bit gentle while stepping on them so as not to totally squish them.
@@MsTemptation ok

@@_V.Va_ Ok
Have you ever stepped on a gourd? They arent super strong
I'm not sure why this is so fun to watch. Maybe it's just that they're having such a good time.
Smooshing...goood...
You can hear that rumble sound means they are excited and happy
Pumpkin go Smunsh, Elephant go Brrrrr. What's not to love!
@@Ittybritty196 HaHa ! đ
Elephants in general. They're such beautiful creatures. Just seeing any animal having fun makes me happy.
It's fascinating that an animal can be so huge and powerful and yet so unbelievably cute
It always amazes me how dexterous elephants are with their trunks
They have to learn alot of it.
Baby elephants are very clumsy with their trunks, sometimes to the point of frustrating themselves.
I love how one of the elephants prefers the seeds and the other like the outside more
Reminds me of my sister and me, when we had pelmeni for dinner as kids. She always liked the dough more, so she got the dough and I took the meat.
Hehehhe
@@diemilch555 Hallo Milch đ
@@PersonausdemAll Hallo dort, Person aus dem All hahaha :D
@@diemilch555 Hallo Höhö :D Was macht die Milch?
Didn't know elephants liked pumpkin. Today I learned
@M Thomas Just because something is a herbivore doesnât mean they like all plants.
@Jayne Eyre Makes sense. My cats liked it too. Goats and cows love it including the seeds!
@Jayne Eyre So do wolves, foxes, and coyotes. They are just fun to play with and destroy for everyone.
We own a small, organic, No-Kill farm with 235 chickens. We grow gardens just for them and PUMPKINS are one of their favorites! They let them grow, never touching the plants or pumpkins until they are perfectly ready to eat. Then, all are gone within a week if we donât remove them and store for later treats throughout the winter! â€ïž
Didn't know there are pumpkins that big đâ
I love how that first elephant stomped on that pumpkin and then immediately hesitated as if to be like "shit I don't think I was supposed to do that, am I gonna get in trouble?" đđ They're such intelligent and wholesome gentle giants.
I love how they came hustling over like oh boy oh boy I'm gonna smash it
I think they know? Someone else said they (or at least their ancestors) were the main eaters of pumpkins throughout the world, and the wildest thing about elephants is that they have generational memory: ie their children are born knowing through inherited memory where to get food and how to eat it (even if their mother dies when they're born) so they definitely know about pumpkins, like how to smash them and how to eat em. :) I'm assuming they only put food in front of them to eat at the zoo cause they have set feeding times hehe so they're just gentle giants not wanting to be too messy maybe đ„°
Nah
@@samaraisnt
Lol. Elephants donât have magic powers, which is what youâre describing. They learn by experience. They canât remember something theyâve never seen/experienced.
@Ryan Robinett do you think that this phenomenon happens in humans?
This was the best smashing pumpkins concert.
Elephants are so precious we must protect them
by destroying this zoo :)
Yes
@@megazenn22 Elephants don't belong in zoos. They belong in sanctuaries. I remember as a kid going to the Toronto zoo to see the elephants, and they were rocking back and forth from madness. The entire place smelled god awful. The poop to enclosure ratio was not good. I don't even think the Toronto zoo has elephants anymore. They moved them across country to be in a bigger zoo. Mind you, the Toronto Zoo isn't small at all. Giant animals aren't made for zoos, they need huge places to roam. Zoos shouldn't be holding giant animals.
*Edit:*
I just did a quick google search and the Toronto zoo transferred them to a sanctuary. "The three elephants were transported to the PAWS sanctuary in California on October 16, 2013"
Good for the Toronto professional staff for sending them to sanctuaries instead of another zoo.
@@neellie9474 thats a bit rich coming from the family that mixes concrete in pelicans mouths, but nice info :)
@@megazenn22 LOL!
ha, I like the one guy yelling like he's at a monster truck rally.
It's a monster foot-stompin' rally!
Wholesome. đ
đđ
That comparison killed me, so accurate
Imagine how people were 5,000 years ago without Godâs True Book. How would they have known how they were
supposed to live? How would they have known how they were supposed to be in order to please their Creator? So
God gave the law of Moses back then. This law was for the people to know how to be. They saw what God expected
out of them. God had high expectations from the Israelites. Why shouldn't He? Should He drop His expectations for
love and grace? If He drops His expectations to accommodate what man wants, then He compromised His
perfection for manâs imperfection. Does a Perfect God compromise His perfection?
So God has expectations once He tells His creation how He wants things. His love and grace gives His creation time
to change. He is willing to help them change if they ask Him. Then His creation, while repenting or changing to do
His will, see His Beauty. This is a relationship formed now with the Creator. If He is the Most Beautiful Being, which
He is, how can His creation not want to obey Him? How can His creation not want to please Him? The reason why is
because of foolishness. Man loves his own foolishness rather than Godâs wisdom, Jn 3:19. Man loves his sin. If
anyone loves himself, he will stay in sin. So man who stays in sin rejects his perfect Creator or Father, and
exchanges it for his own foolishness.
So now fast forward to today where we have Godâs True Book. We officially know what God wants. God gave His
creation a big help, the Word, to show us how He wants us to live. If we follow His perfect teachings, we all live
with perfect peace, love, joy and unity. This is His perfect design for His children's lives. When we go against His
perfect design for what we want, sin, we throw away that perfect plan. We throw away that perfect peace, love, joy
and unity. Giving up these things is foolish. So sinning against God proves to be the worst plan for us!
God wanted to help mankind. God wanted to save man from his foolishness. He wanted to help us the best way
possible because He is Good. The best and only way to do it, as God saw fit, was to give mankind His Son. Why? The
Son is the Word, Jn 1:1. The Word always obeys the Father's will. The Father's will is spoken through His Word.
The Word proceeds forth from the Father's will and mind. So the Word that God speaks is the pure sequel to what
was inside the Father's mind and heart. Jesus is that perfection manifest. He is the physical embodiment of God's
will and thought. God's will and thought is expressed through His Word. Jesus, the human part, is the perfect,
physical expression of God. Jesus, the human part that walked this earth, came to teach us the perfect will of God.
How? He did this by example. This is why Jesus walked this earth perfectly without sinning.
So Jesus taught us perfectly. He even was willing to die not only death, but the death He did not deserve since He
never sinned against God the Father. He chose to give His life. That's why Jesus says no man forces Him to lay down
His life, He chose to lay it down, Jn 10:18. God wanted to save mankind. Jesus wants what the Father wants. The
Word always obeys the will. He shed even His perfect, pure blood for us. His blood is the fulfillment of perfect
obedience to the Father. Why? Because the Son asked 3 times in the Garden, "Take my cup not by my will but by
yours." The Father said the Son still had to shed His blood on the cross. The Son obeyed the Father's will over His
own. So the blood was shed for that purpose. Nobody else had that kind of blood. Nobody else pleased the Father
perfectly like the Son. So now instead of the law of Moses showing us the way to live rightly in God's eyes, we have
the Son. This is the New Covenant. In Jesus and His blood, we now obey Him instead of the Mosaic law as part of
this new agreement between man and God. So as man wants to live rightly to please His Creator, man now must
turn to the Word of the Creator. So obeying the perfect teachings of Jesus brings us to how God wants us to live.
The Son conquered the grave. The grave is the end of all who sin. The grave is the payment for sin. Satan founded
the grave. How? Because Satan started death by being the first to sin against Almighty God. Jesus destroyed Satan's
creation and fulfills the very first prophecy spoken of the Savior in Genesis 3:15. That's why Jesus came to
"...destroy the works of the devil," 1 Jn 3:8. Satan came to ruin God's Creation with sin. Jesus came to ruin Satan's
creation, death, with perfect obedience, which His blood shed proves. That's why in His blood, there is life. So the
Gospel is God's reconciliation with man. How? Only through the Son. If you disobey the Son, you disobey the
Father. Jesus says, âHe who has seen me has seen the Father,â Jn 14:9. Repent and accept Jesus as Your Lord NOW!!!
Then start to read the Gospels and obey His commands. Follow Jesus only, no other man, no religion. Only Jesus.

Can't wait to see Smashing Pumpkins live! đ€
Itâs actually amazing how much dexterity they have with their trunks! I love themâ€
Gonna seen them running the bolt of gransax at 60 dex.
âSmashing Pumpkinsâđ€đ»đ€Łđ
Elephants: "Today is the greatest!" đđđđđ
I specifically looked for these two comments.
Wowđđđ
great name for a band!
Shame it wasn't a rhinoceros that would have worked even better
Everyone impressed by how they can stomp a pumpkin open.
Me: "They can chew a big chunk of pumpkin rind just like that!"
Itâs good for ya lol
@@Akutukananu But think about how hard it is to cut through with a knife and they're CHEWING it! The strength of their jaws must be incredible.
I wouldn't put my finger in there.
@@selinesbeau the our planet documentary show elephants eating bark off a baobab tree during the dry seasons for the water
They've got absolutely massive molars
This has no right being this entertaining. Love it.
"Thats a wierd rock, let's test it."
"Hey Mark! Look!"
"What's that?"
"I donno but it tastes good."
đ€Łđ€Ł and then they fought over the last pieces
Interesting how they don't fight over their food like many other animals do.
They know that it will end badly for everyone if they do. Mostly only humans and other elephants can do deadly wound to an elephant. So they learned to be patient and that food tend to grow everywhere so no need to fight.
@@birbserker4317 elephants are the strongest land animals there even is a video on youtube where 14 lionesses attack an alone elephant baby and it still survives lol
@@birbserker4317 heres the video i was talking about czcams.com/video/MbV7WuNWHe4/video.html
The fact is they want to live in a family...like us in our family their will be grandparents parent's uncle aunty...in elepants family too they follow this..in their grup there will be an elder elepant..all other elephants obey it..and they also take care of other elephants child..they are such a good and innocent creature..they will only attack us if we attack them..thats y they didnt fight over their food instead they shares among them
Lots of pack and social animals dont
I love how in the end every elephant had left but there was one that just kept going like â there must be more, there must.. â
Good video, straight to the point, exactly as advertised
CZcams: Elephants smashing giant pumpkins?
Me: Yes, please.
since they don't allow beautiful women masturbating, elephants smashing pumpkins is ok I guess..
2:13 you can hear one guy enthusiastically cheering them on like its a sporting match
They enjoyed playing and eating food. So cute
That crunching sound is very gentle and soothing. Whenever I'm having a rough day, I always come back to this video cause the elephants make me forget about the world around me. Thank u for sharing this video
Imagine you try to enjoy your food and somone outside your window shouts "ooohh yeaaaarer" every time you break a piece of you food.
Lmao.
There's a million 'oddly satisfying' videos but this actually is.
Father but good luck to play a game I lost my boss
@@nadiyahb5805 absolutely
I can guess who these elephantsâ favourite band is
That is so cute watching elephants eat so precious
I like how they just crush the pumpkin like a gingerbread house and they smile
It would be amazing to know what it feels like to be an elephant and have such force in their feet and trunk, to know what it feels like to fly like a bird, to know what it's like to run as fast as a cheetah and be as tall as a giraffe and withstand freezing temperatures like polar bears. The animal world is so fascinating.
...And to have the strength of a horse or the iridescent beauty of a hummingbirdâs feathers in the sunlight or...
Just so many things
It's not so much force as weight. Elephants are actually quite weak pound for pound. All big animals are: the smaller the creature, the stronger it is pound-for-pound.
You are at the top of the pyramid, you have reason and a body able to create wonderful things, and you feel jealous for animals because some of them are faster, stronger and able to fly, dive, etc? I don't understand this mentality. Both animals and humans were created by God with different roles, embrace it.
@@DieFlabbergast Weight = gravitational force bro. Same thing
I love how they gently crush the sides of the biggest pumpkin, taking only what they need.
Its probably because their gripping ability is yknow, pretty limited.
This is good eating manners đ
Watched the clip again after reading your comment... đŻ
Ladies and gentlemen, Smashing Pumpkins live.
They squash those giant pumpkins so easily....and they make them look so tasty...!!! Thanks for share this moment with these AMAZING and LOVING BEINGS...!!!
Elephants are so smart and beautiful

Oh⊠to be an elephant, stomping on pumpkins and eating themđ„°
I didn't even know pumpkins grow that big
I know they like to eat them but it really looks like they are enjoying the smashing just as much. there seems to be some malicious joy behind those foot stomps.
Elephants are amazing, I like how they pick food with their trunk đđđ€
what else they gonna pick it with? their pinkie toe?
They look like they're smiling when they eat it's so adorable
@@tuttwith2ts nah man they finna use their telepathy
The pumpkins are huge like the elephants!! You deserve, elephants!! đ€đ
Largest land mammal on earth crushes a pumpkin as though it were nothing:
Humans: "woOaaAAhHhH!"
Weâre such funny lil animals and we havenât changed much!
The elephants are loving the pumpkins đ and I'm loving the sound of them crunching đ
The dislikes must be from Jack O' Lanterns
The headless horseman maybe. Or the pumpkin head demon. But even they can't hate elephants. There's nothing to hate.
I LOVE elephants! Such graceful gentle powerful creatures. They really do like pumpkin!
These pumpkins are soo big I want to smash them too XD
I hope your coce is of sufficient size
@@sprez534 i hope you coce of is size sufficiency
Elephants are so weird - they use their noses like an arm! I realize this isnât news to anybody but sometimes the oddness of it just strikes me all of a sudden.
Yes, they use their trunk as a appendage.
Nothing weird about that since that is the point of their trunks.
Weird is having two trunks and watching how they would use them.
I use my arm like a nose.
Their trunk has very strong muscles that they can control precisely to do a variety of tasks. It's pretty rare for an animal without hands to be able to do that.
The young are often frustrated because they can't grab things yet...
Just wow, the gentleness! So silent, such grace, balanced.
They are so gentle even when crushing
I love hearing that Gish sound from Smashing Pumpkins.
I love to see the elephants having fun & being happy.
0:06 oh my God that *huge* rumble is amazing. So cool!
"Bess, Mabel, get over here before all the pumpkins are smashed."
Humans hear: really deep rumble.
So Cute moment đđ„°đđ€©đđđđŒđđłđ§đŒđđđ
It makes me happy to see elephants getting lots of healthy beta carotene in their diet.
The only ASMR video worth watching.
Wow they smashed it like it was a button đ€Łđ€Ł
The like button?
@@GeneralXarzu đ€Łđ€Ł 100%
Like the ENTS from LOTR smashing the stone walls of Isengard! đ
Well, that's the last time those pumpkins try to run away and join the circus!
Smashing Pumpkins, could be a cool band name!
I love how they have such autonomous control of their trunk
Pumpkins: exist
Elephants: SMASHY SMASHY!
This is such a goofy, but fun tradition. Yay, elephants!
the people in the background just loosing their mind every time is so funny
The way they easily stand and break on the pumpkin is incredible
they are loving this treat!!!!!! How cute are these big loves?!!!!! Happy Halloween to them all
Elephants are such a gift to this world. They are amazing and beautiful
An elephant stares at a naked man, the man says "what are you looking at?" The elephant replies
"Sorry I'm just wondering, how to you eat with that thing"?

wat
Some of us would lose a lot of weight if we had to pick up our food with it!đą
So powerful! So majestic! Pumpkins go smoosh!
Elephants are gorgeous creatures! Sending â€ïž to them and all the animals around the globe!
Which did absolutely nothing. Lol.
this is just adorable. i thank the algorithm on this blessed day & i hope this lovely elephant family has been enjoying their scrumptious pumpkin this season! đđđ
They knew what to do right away! Amazing animals!
I'll be growing a giant pumpkin this year. This is the only thing I want to have happen to the final product. I NEED this to happen to my pumpkin
itÂŽs amazing how powerful and sensible they are at the same time.
The lyrics âThe world is a vampire. Sent to dray-ee-ay-ay-ainâ come rushing to mind...
Why is this satisfying đ€

CZcams: do you wanna see elephants smashing pumpkins?
Me: sure!

Lovely and smart!
i love how their natural instinct is just just stand on it
For something so heavy and powerful, they sure are gentle about it.
Elephant: Remember that old band "Smashin pumpkins" Let's do a revival.
I didnt know elephants liked pumpkins! đł
Me either! wow lol
This made my heart smile! Thank you for uploading such satisfying content. xo
0:52 dang, considering that's an elephant...that pumpkin put up a pretty good fight.
When this video is actually an ASMR:
Like crushing a soft snowball đđ
That first elephant ran up like heâd been waiting all week for that first crunch.
The way the elephants ran up to the pumpkins it awesome. They're like, "Hot Damn! Pumpkin!!'
Next, they started a band.
Smashing pumpkins â€
I reached the end of the internet: I'm watching elephants smashing giant pumpkins ...
i dont understand how elephants are cute. like theyre big heavy leathery animals and yet here i am watching these creatures in awe.
one of my favorite bands, awesome to see them live
I wonder if elephants ever bite their own trunks by mistake. XD
I bet that's so fun for them. Like squishing bubble wrap, only tastier! :D
Is anyone else here almost more excited by how friggin big them pumpkins are?
