    I have compiled a list of links for zoos with elephants AND Google street view. Not all zoos have been mapped in street view by Google, the list is not complete but a starting point for those interested.

    Just click on the desired Zoo below and you will be taken to the Google street view elephant exhibit. Enjoy!

    Audubon Zoo
    Brookfield Zoo (old elephant exhibit)
    Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
    Denver Zoo

    Los Angeles Zoo
    Lowry Park Zoo
    Oakland Zoo

    That's pretty neat. How did you find those? My only thought is to enter the zoo address into Google Maps then look around from there, but I may be way off base. hahaha. Thanks for sharing.

    Yes, I did what you do. I just entered the zoo names in Google maps and checked to see if they had street view. Then I just searched the aerial for the elephant exhibit and dropped the street view icon on it.

    Hopefully they will be mapped as well, I went through all the North American zoos which house elephants and the list I made are the only ones available now....there may be others but I only checked the elephant ones.

    The link for Denver Zoo is now the Black Rhino exhibit. The Elephants moved to their new digs in TEP.

    Thanks Gulo, you're right that is the old elephant exhibit. The new one was under construction when Google took the streetview for Denver so I just put their old exhibit there instead.
