Elephant Exhibit

Boardwalk w/ holding building facade in the background.

Considering that the multi-acre elephant complex only cost $13 million it seems that Oklahoma City received one of the most elaborate boardwalks to be found at any American zoo. The extent of the construction in a metropolis like Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., or New York would have quadrupled the cost.

I thought this was all very good a couple of years back, however surprised that it only contained 0.2.1 has thus changed?

1.4 now. Brought in a male, and 2 calves have been born.

That's great so 2 female calves from natural conception?

I wonder how many male calves are born by IVF before they decide it is not a viable or sustainable option!

I have a feeling "they" will never work it out and many many males are going to have a life that is...
