Chris Pratt: ‘I’m pro-hunter, but elephant is something I would never shoot’
Chris Pratt: ‘I’m pro-hunter, but elephant is something I would never shoot’
On One Direction: “I just think it’s funny that it’s all five dudes who want to be taken pretty seriously as musicians, but I don’t think any of them play instruments. I know there’s a guy named Harry. Probably someone named Liam.”
On his son’s preschool experience: “I don’t know what the f*** they do. Basically you just go there to get a cold.”
On coyotes:: “They’re smart as f***, dude. To call a coyote in that doesn’t hang up at, like, 700 yards–to get him to come in is so hard. You’ve gotta lure him in. You’ve gotta post up in the morning and evening and do a predator call that sounds like a dying rabbit. And they come running out, and they’re like, “Where the f*** is it?” It’s been a while since I shot one, but I just like to shoot anything with the .22-250 [Remington].”
On hunting: “Anytime you go to the farmers’ market or you go hunt something, you earn it a little bit. Getting all the food is a process. It makes you feel good. It’s like getting in shape by working out rather than by getting lipo. You know what I mean?”
On shooting elephants: “I’m definitely pro-hunter, but elephant is something I would never shoot. I would like to hunt in Africa. I’d like to hunt all the game animals in Africa. The sh*t that’s being hunted today–like a gazelle, springbok, kudu, all that stuff. All those animals are really beautiful; you could feed some people, get a cool trophy out of the deal.”
On hotels: “I hate hotels. I had to stay in a hotel in New Orleans the whole time. What a waste of f***ing money that was. Holy sh*t. I was so tired, I didn’t even want to look at bills. I just signed the thing, and then at the end, I was like, ‘Are you f***ing kidding me? That’s how much this place cost? Oh, great.’”
On home childbirth: “I just think about all the women who had to give birth back in the day in their homes–if you were to get in a time machine and be like, ‘By the way, in the future, there’s facilities that, if something goes wrong, there are trained professionals to take care of you. The mortality rate goes way down. You could totally survive this, and your baby, and people choose not to. Is that crazy?’ They would be like, ‘What?!’”
On hanging out with his co-stars: “We don’t hang out all that much outside of work. I don’t really do much of anything, other than just work and come home. No a**holes. It’s great. You hear these horror stories about people who you have to work with. Maybe that means I’m an **shole.”

Dallas Zoo, Says Goodbye to Elephant Matriarch "Mama"
Dallas Zoo, Says Goodbye to Elephant Matriarch "Mama"
From the Dallas Zoo’s Facebook Page:
We are heartbroken to share that our Elephant matriarch, “Mama,” has died due to age-related health conditions. At 45, Mama was the oldest of our “Golden Girls,” and one of the 10 oldest elephants in the U.S. She had been undergoing dedicated geriatric care for many months, but in recent weeks her health declined and her care evolved to hospice-style efforts to keep her comfortable.
Mama was often called an old soul. This curious mother and grandmother was known for her sweet tooth (favoring sugar cane) and tidy eating habits (she would rake her food into a neat pile and daintily scoop it up). From the time she arrived here in 2024, she was very curious and could be the instigator of mischief. She loved being groomed, especially “pedicures” and being vocal with her herd.
After Mama died, Gypsy, Jenny, Congo and Kamba were given time to say goodbye, during which they gently touched her face with their trunks and trumpeted softly. It’s a very difficult day for our staff, so
please keep us in your thoughts. We welcome your sympathies here on our Facebook page. Our keepers, committed to conservation efforts, ask that anyone wishing to honor Mama donate to the Tarangire Elephant Project, one of our partners helping elephants in Africa. Information can be found at www.wcstanzania.org/tarangire.htm. Donations may be mailed to Mama Elephant Memorial, c/o Dallas Zoo, 650 S. R.L. Thornton Freeway, Dallas, TX 75203.
The Elephant keeper talks will be cancelled today and tomorrow to give the staff time to grieve. Visit our ZooHoo! blog for more information and photos of our sweet Mama: bit.ly/DZMama. Please watch this tribute video we made in her honor.
