Zoo map 2019

What the map will look like this summer
How come the new elephant exhibit they got is so small? Seems good for the 2 girls they got but there's no room for a really nice, big herd.
 
@tigris115 Three girls actually. Its relatively small compared to other more recent exhibits, but IMO functionality is more important then actually space. The exhibit is only around two acres in size but is filled with enrichment walls, sway poles, sand hills and multiple food hangers. The yard can actually contain up to five elephants including a bull. So while it may not be the largest modern elephant exhibit, it gets the job done and will make a nice home for older elephants.
