Elephant Care Inquiry

From Wayne Jackson:

Hello Wayne,

I was wondering if you could post this to your elephant list. The first is what type of material other zoos use to create an elephant bite block I heard of zoos using this to get a good view of the teeth. Also what other zoos are using for elephant bug spray as we are currently using a whole bunch of natural bug sprays that are doing nothing to stop the mosquitoes from being attracted to the elephant. We have to be nearly covered in the deep woods off repellant to keep the mosquitoes off us this year.

Regards,
Wayne
