I find it so irritating when they criticised London's plans for a bigger tiger enclosure and Chester's 'Heart of Africa': They're trying to improve the animal's lives even more!

Thanks again! Great architecture. Probably totally outdated as an elephant house, I would imagine, but very interesting to see!

Thanks so much for remembering this particular interest of mine, ashely-h! Unfortunately I can´t get the picture to open on my computer. I am not much of a computer expert.... could you upload it in the gallery?

Nearly all zoos used to chain their elephants (and some still use this practise)

Probably kept them from getting too close to the moat's edge.
