Zoo Tours: The Elephant Trails | Smithsonian's National Zoo (2010)
Episode 76
A trail that takes elephants on a private walk, the largest pedicure you’ll ever see, a female that’s been at the zoo since 1961, a nearly 13,000 pound bull, a calf that made scientific history, and an elephant that can play the HARMONICA! Eight years of planning, five years of constructing, and $56 million turned the outdated past into a modern example of pachyderm exhibitory. Despite that fact, remnants of history still remain, and we’ll be taking a photographic trip back to 1936 to get a dramatic perspective of the changes the zoo made to make this a suitable home for elephants. Showing all other zoos that you don’t need to throw out the old to make something new.
