Elephant House Interior at Halle, 04/09/11

Having been asked by the local authorities to continue keeping elephants, but lacking any amount of flat space on a hilly site, the zoo was forced to build an elephant house right at the minimum end of EAZA recommendations for space. Obviously this will cause problems if the minimum space recommendation is raised in future, so to provide future options the house and doorways have been a built a little taller than necessary - at giraffe height!
