Say Ahh!

Now, Say Ahh! Spic and span and feeling fit as a fiddle as well as good natured after one of her special lubrication jobs, Wideawake, the elephant, opened up at the Woodland Park Zoo, to have her mouth examined in a routine inspection. Animal fat is applied to the animal's hide with a jumbo-model paint-brush. It is a substitute for jungle mud baths and is applied to prevent the elephant's hide from callousing and cracking. (The Seattle Times Archives, 1958)
