@Ituri: what is your opinion of the fairly new elephant exhibit? Some ZooChatters have been critical about it but would you say that it is a progressive habitat or simply an adequate one?
Now that Honolulu Zoo has once again lost its accreditation, the AZA has apparently criticized this exhibit more than any other. The "limited shade, brackish pools and untested chlorine levels in the pools" is a concern. There is also a "lack of animal enrichment" and considering that not too long ago the zoo spent $12 million on the exhibit it seems as if the enclosure is already badly outdated.
