Awesome documentation and video coverage! Great job....

@leopold salzer I was there today and they have a very large enclosure. And @c.c. wellman why do you say that? they seemed pretty happy to me. one of them was rolling around in his little pond and playing in the water. Another one was snacking. They didn't seem upset to me.

How much room do these elephants have?

[@simonkidd2088]

I live in Birmingham, if I'm guessing I'll say they have about 5 football fields to Rome

Low big elephant vs high small elephant

That zoo look ok

[@happyendingssanctuary9355]

Such a bleak and potentially very stressful existance

[@josephhankes4366]

These elephants have only known captivity, and so when they can accomplish a small-scale natural feat such as this, I applaud them.

Elephants do not belong in zoos.

[@kevinlucero2817]

That I can agree with you

[@redflower9213]

You idiot, zoos protect elephants and all animals from extinction and hunting. It is enough that they live better in zoos.

Hmm......male elephants tend to lead solitary lives in the wild. They will be fighting in a few years time. Dreadful idea.
