Elephant Odyssey - Opening Day

Thanks a lot for taking the time to upload all of your great photos from Elephant Odyssey. The reviews are mixed, but the signage is evidently top notch around the new exhibits.

The signage would need to be good to get the...errr...unique story line acroos.

For all of our debating about this, I find that the only way I'll know what this exhibit accomplishes is to be there for a long while watching animals and visitors. What do the visitors "get" out of this? Do they talk about pre-historic California or simply "ooo look at the elephant"? Do they point to Asian elephants and tell their kids ,"They live in the desert in Africa" or "Animals like that once lived right here!." This exhibit concept is very new and unusual. Does it succeed? I hope the zoo is doing evaluation polling.

Thanks for the picture, it helps us see beyond the "utilitrees."

I dunno about that, when i was watching the sloth I heard someone asking where the Giant Ground Sloth was.....

Honestly, I'm not into the combination of Prehistoric reference in Zoo.
