Elephants can wash with a hose – and sabotage shower time, scientists say

An elephant at Berlin zoo used its trunk to interrupt flow of water from hose used by another elephant

Scientists say they have not only discovered an elephant with an astonishing ability to shower with a hose, but spotted another cutting off the flow of water – possibly in a deliberate act of sabotage.
