      Could this be the best Asian elephant exhibit in the country?

      I think it may be, I hadn't thought about it but the ones I've seen that come to mind are not as good...San Diego, Saint Louis, and maybe Miami (although it's smaller) are my comparisons for best one.

      The best I've seen are Dublin and National with Miami, Columbus and Houston a bit behind.
