River's Edge - Asian Elephant

  • Media owner geomorph

This excellent area is a lushly planted meandering loop trail which has a common thread of water features that form waterfalls, streams, moats, swimming pools, and even an aquarium. The trail interprets four geographic areas with representative exhibits for each, mostly mammals. The four areas are South America, Africa, Asia, and Missouri.

Didn't you say that elephant exhibits become barren at 1 elephant/acre? Nashville's exhibit is perhaps the most lush elephant exhibit in the United States and they had 1 elephant/acre for 5 years.

I am almost positive that Miami's exhibit is not irrigated.

If you read zooplantman's post, he said as you exceed 1 acre per elephant the landscape becomes increasingly barren, not it will be completely barren at 1 acre.
