DENVER (CBS4) – The Denver Zoo gave one of its biggest residents a huge treat to celebrate Halloween, handing over a 400-pound pumpkin to one of its elephants.

Pumpkin Stomping is considered not just a tasty treat for the animals, but also just a different kind of fun activity.

Pumpkin hobbyist Brian Deevy donated the giant gourd to the zoo.
