Each year in Nepal, people gather to watch an elephant race, an elephant
beauty pageant and even an elephant soccer game. In the beauty pageant,
the elephants were judged on movement, physique, health, cleanliness,
sense and capabilities and the decorations that their owners painted on
them.
The
elephants
who played soccer gave it their all, and they used all four feet and
even their trunks to score goals. Apparently they are trained to hit the
ball when someone yells 'kick.' The elephants were even treated to a
special meal of rice and sugar wrapped in grass.
