Elephant Odyssey at the San Diego Zoo

These photos were taken on a trip to the San Diego Zoo in April of 2012. This exhibit opened on May 23, 2009 and features a 2.5 acre elephant habitat. Elephant Odyssey also features sculptures of prehistoric animals from Southern California's ancient past alongside its present day counterparts including lions, jaguars, tapirs, guanacos, cabybaras, camels, and California condors.
