And You Thought Your Job Was Bad

What does it take to get an elephant pregnant? A good come-on line and a very well-stocked liquor cabinet. Seriously though, all you need is a German scientist outfitted with a bicycle helmet, special goggles, a plastic suit, and a whole hell of a lot of nerve. The Seattle Zoo recently called in Dr. Thomas Hildebrandt and Dr. Frank Goeritz in an attempt to artifically inseminate their 26-year-old Asian elephant Chai. The process started with an enema that produced several wheelbarrows full of elephant poop. Next, Hildebrandt reached in and... you really don't want to know. Source

"...and not a little cooperation from Chai..."

I understand the whole survival of a species, but when they basically say she was uncooperative (I'm thinking fighting/aggressive), that doesn't sound good.

Rape-like. :(
