This ambitious complex was created for my exhibit showcase thread; and is designed to successfully display elephants, giraffes, and rhinos together in a way that no zoo has managed to achieve in recent years.

Didn't quite know whereabouts to put this poll but I thought I was curious to see which is the most people's favourites of the five animals and what better place to ask than here!

In order to avoid any muddying of the main speculation thread, I have created this one with the purpose of discussing my and hopefully others' personal views on potential transfers, renovations, etc of Asian Elephants and their facilities in North America. I have excluded facilities I know...

Sorry if this thread already exists but I thought Id make a post for a bit of fun to see which elephant sub species people like the best. :)

I don’t know if this has been mentioned before but what’s your opinion on zookeepers and/or owners of dangerous animals like big cats, apes etc interacting with the animals? Like no barrier between them. Do you think it’s right or wrong? Ive seen people hanging out with lions or walking along...

What can live with Indian elephants? What has worked?

I was wondering if a few African elephants could live with a few Asian elephants? All would be females. Thanks
