It looks great: Soft ground, mud/sand baths, varying levels to help with exercise, and it's really big. Only thing, it could maybe do with some more furniture, e.g. - dead upright trees. These are great as scratching posts and to hang browse and enrichment off. These might be out of shot though

The pool is quite big as well: its surface is 800 square meter, and four metres deep.

I have posted a picture fo the male, taken within the past month. He looks pretty well!

This is an excellent zoo, and its elephant housing is of the highest quality.
