It appears the zoo's elephant will be the first to enjoy the new money rewarded to the zoo by last year's zoo bond measure.

This is awesome news! Currently there are 7 elephants in a 1.5 acre exhibit (not 3 acres as written in the first article) and increasing that to 6 acres should make the Oregon Zoo one of the best places in North America to see Asian elephants. Also, having over 200 off-exhibit acres for the males will be fabulous. I've visited the zoo on 3 occasions and have often complained about what I perceive to be a terrible enclosure, and so these changes are very welcome indeed. Often the elephants are segregated into different areas of the paddock, and so in reality they have very tiny areas for themselves. There is always one male indoors with barely enough space to walk twenty paces.
