The elephants got a taste of a German winter at the Berlin Zoo this week as they played in the snow, getting into play fights and sampling a bit of the frozen treat.

Ko Raya, an Asian elephant, even rolled around in the snow in her enclosure at Zoologischer Garten, where temperatures have been staying below zero.

天上下暴雪,大象也疯狂

       近几日,欧洲许多国家都下起了大雪,有的地区甚至下了暴雪。

       厚厚的积雪给人们的生活造成了不少麻烦。不过,它也给动物园里的动物们带来了不少游戏与快乐。

       德国柏林动物园里的小象拉亚就是其中的一个。

       拉亚是一头亚洲象,2009年3月出生在柏林动物园,今年只有一岁半。从出生到现在,拉亚从来没有遇见过如此寒冷的天气,更没有见过这么大的雪。

       圣诞夜柏林下的这场大雪,使得拉亚生活的动物园里的积雪足有30厘米高。这可让没见过雪景的拉亚高兴坏了。

       只见它一会儿用鼻子抓雪球,一会儿在雪地里打滚,一会儿和别的大象一起打雪仗,玩得是不亦乐乎。

       据动物园的管理员介绍,亚洲象一般生活在印度、孟加拉、斯里兰卡、马来西亚、泰国等比较温暖的南亚地区。就算是野生的亚洲象也很少有机会看到如此壮观的雪景。所以,柏林的这场大雪才会让这些大象们如此兴奋。
