Fun fact: Michael Jackson owned one of these elephants before donating it to the zoo (not sure which one).
What did you think of the Jacksonville Zoo? They appear to have an interesting collection and this zoo is on my list to see someday based on that. How do the exhibits stack up?

I liked Jacksonville a lot - the collection was very interesting (reptiles and local species in particular) and most of the enclosures are average-to-good, with a few very good and only one or two distinctly dodgy ones (American Black Bear, for instance). Thoroughly enjoyed it. Tigers will be a good addition - the strength of the Africa and Americas displays means the rather token Asian section feels rather underwhelming at the moment!
