Apparently wooly mammoth and other elephant types had a taste for gourds, and spread their seeds all over North America, which is why we have pumpkins today. Check out this Smithsonian article.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US. :)

Interesting!
Charles -- isn't it? :) I'll admit I never thought of elephants eating pumpkins before. It's kind of cute.
