Elephant Odyssey in San Diego looks much better than the outdated Elephant Mesa enclosure, but in a few years time it will be around the 25th largest pachyderm exhibit in North America and probably the 50th most naturalistic. I expect more from my all-time favourite zoo. Having said that, I'll wait until I eventually visit to really judge the entire area, but I'm finding that often a series of well-taken photos give a pretty good indication of what to expect at a zoo. I'm quite curious to see the lion, jaguar, etc, exhibits in Elephant Odyssey as well.
I prefer the exhibit that is better for the animals, and the elephant exhibit wasn't intending to look like an Asian rain forest. It was more being designed to give the elephants many enriching opportunities, rather than look naturalistic.
I have heard the jaguar exhibit will be really nice, as it is suppose to resemble a wetland according to some of the articles I read. It will also have live trout for the jaguars to hunt.
I wasn't specifically refering to this photo. Yes Yassa I have only seen a number of photos and the map lay out. I'm just saying it from where I stand.
From the website I got the impression that there were going to be plants growing out the top of those big metal trees for the elephants to eat off. Is that actually going to happen and has it yet?
