The Oregon Zoo elephant's are testing out a new yard in the first phase of the "Elephant Lands" exhibit. I'm a bit confused, I'm not sure exactly where this yard is located, if its a renovation of the main yard or connoted to the current yard somehow so i'd love to see some pictures or details form someone in the area. From the video I'm a little uninpressed however, while it looks larger, (and still under somewhat construction) It looks a bit messy and i'm not so sure about the wood barriers/doors? Maybe a tasty treat for Tusko
