And now to a zoo in Tokyo, Japan. Mammy and Minister, two resident Asian elephants, were given a special mission: leading a traditional Japanese bean-throwing festival called "Setsubun."
Setsubun is a ritual that seeks to call in the good and chase out the bad. This was no simple trick for Mammy and Minister--they know just how tasty those roasted soybeans are. They were the only two elephants in their herd to learn to throw the beans--and be able resist eating them. Mammy and Minister may just be back next year to again showcase their throwing trunks.
