African elephant herd

There are elephant exhibits which are much more naturalistic, but few that are better for watching elephant family dynamics.

How big is their herd? The exhibit isn't all concrete is it?

The exhibit is all dirt and grass as far as I can tell. I assume that the barn floor and surrounding work areas are concrete.

I'm not sure how large the current elephant herd is.
At least 15 individuals I think.

I need to check this zoo out.
 
Definitely recommend it if you love elephants. The large variety of hoofstock may also be considered a bonus, and their new tiger exhibit is very nice.

Hoofstock and elephants are my favorite zoo animals. One of these days I'll make it.

Then I'm sure you'd love it. I'm not enough of an expert on hoofstock to tell if they've got anything too rare,but still, they've got a large collection in huge exhibits, so it's very nice.

I know they have Cape buffalo and those are pretty uncommon in North America. From what I've seen the spacious enclosures look nice.
