It is difficult to get a grasp of where this exhibit begins and ends due to the beautiful background. The link below ranks Birmingham as having one of the 5 biggest elephant exhibits in the United States (behind Disney, SDZ Safari Park, North Carolina and Dallas) and all 5 of those habitats have some wonderful components to them. The fact that Dallas and Birmingham have begun to incorporate other species into the same enclosure (and will do so even more in the future) sets the bar high for many other zoos.
