Best zoo elephant house in the world?

Yeah from what I've seen the house looks really good, does anyone mind sending me some clear pictures of the indoor exhibit please?, thanks
 
Hey ger68

Why not just upload them here in our gallery? Then we can all enjoy;)
 
I know this thread is kinda dead, but what is the largest elephant house in the world (the one that beats Columbus)?
 
Just looked up about columbus elephant enclosure saw a vid saying coco is the largest bull elephant in north america but they keeper mentions that he is 10 feet tall, from what I have read so far Packy is he largest bull in North america,in oregon zoo. 6320kgs, 10'6 feet. can anyone confirm this?

Yeah, Packy is 6 inches taller and 1,500 lbs heavier than Coco, the male @ Columbus. I'm not sure why everyone at our zoo thinks Coco is the largest, granted he is HUGE but definitely not the biggest on the continent.
 
@dragon(ele)nerd: 100 feet? Gosh, that's one mighty elephant; not even Sauroposeidon was that tall...lol Nevertheless, I thought the thread was about elephant houses, not giant elephants, wasn't it? ;)
 
@ zoocolumbus001 thanks for clearing that up, yeah his body structure is very tall you can clearly see he is a pretty large elephant on himself.

@ Sun wukong yeah sorry typo meant 10 feet, but speculating if an elephant was 100 feet tall it would be enough to fight Godzilla.. ;)
 
Can anybody answer my question: What is the largest Elephant House in the World? I believe it's in Europe and it's relatively new. It might be Chester or Cologne. Columbus is the second largest at 41,000 sq. ft.
 
How did we get from best to biggest? The size should anyway be related to the size of the herd.

I think that the best and the biggest indoor enclosure in five years time could be found in Emmen.
