After the awards ceremony it was onto elephant football where this mini jumbo showed he was no dumbo as he expertly dribbled with a ball of one of its herds dried dung! After a ring event and a field event it was time to take to the water where a grey heron took gold for an excellent display of hippo surfing never once looking to lose its tight grip. The Animal Olympics then focused on the Matabele ant marathon as 400 runners which normally head off in a column to raid termite mounds took a day off for the big race. All eyes were then back on the wildlife fencing semi-finals when then these two elephants crossed tusks but after a couple of spirited parries the match was over very quickly. Onto the final when a buffalo put his horns up against the tusks to try and take fencing gold but it didn’t end well when the elephant went straight for the kill and rolled him over. Then those most agile of predators the leopard took to the high bars to show his prowess putting in a remarkable display using an impala it had killed earlier as gym equipment. Then the sport took a brief break and with social distancing being so important the winning leopard headed back alone into the Olympic Village to take on some much-needed water.
