Oregon Zoo - Asian Elephant
08-09-2008
August 2008. All three times that I've visited the zoo there has been a male elephant in this unbelievably tiny area. The zoo now has 7 elephants on 1.5 acres, and has to split up the sexes and thus contain the pachyderms in puny spaces. This elephant went back and forth with his head as if he would rather be absolutely anywhere than a tiny, all-concrete, iron-barred jail cell. Brutal cage, but plans are afoot to transform the elephant exhibit into a 6 acre habitat.

Wow, and I thought Billy had a bad life here in LA.

That is far too small for a bull and they really does look like a real jail cell. They need to transform this dungeon into a state-of-the-art barn with heat and padded flooring with substrate. That bare concrete is doing nothing but harm.

Hopefully with the new, 6-acre elephant paddock the Oregon Zoo will create a large area for their bulls. Too often male elephants receive very little space in zoos.
