THE NEW ELEPHANT STOCKADE AT SAN DIEGO ZOO

THE NEW ELEPHANT STOCKADE AT SAN DIEGO ZOO THE Exhibited are three elephants, two Indian and one African, ranging in age from I* to 3 years. This paddock is about 450 sq. ft. in area - the two back walls converge at a goo angle and the front viewing area forms an arc. Cedar logs, 4 to 8 in. in diameter, were placed side by side and imbedded in concrete footing to a depth of 3 0 in. The logs forming the two back walls and the house stand 7 ft. above the ground. Those along the viewing section stand 3 ft. above the sidewalk, and have I* in. steel pipe guard rails inside and outside, extending 3 0 in. to the inside, and 12in. to the outside. One-inch expanded metal is used between the outside guard rail and the fencing to prevent children from going under the rail. The sleeping quarters are constructed with cedar logs lined with 2 in. plywood, and have a log roof and concrete floor sloping to a drain. A 4 ft. x 6 ft. section of the floors in each of the two rooms is electrically radiantly heated, and thermostatically controlled at about 65’. The rooms are approximately 8 ft. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Zoo Yearbook Wiley

Abstract

THE Exhibited are three elephants, two Indian and one African, ranging in age from I* to 3 years. This paddock is about 450 sq. ft. in area - the two back walls converge at a goo angle and the front viewing area forms an arc. Cedar logs, 4 to 8 in. in diameter, were placed side by side and imbedded in concrete footing to a depth of 3 0 in. The logs forming the two back walls and the house stand 7 ft. above the ground. Those along the viewing section stand 3 ft. above the sidewalk, and have I* in. steel pipe guard rails inside and outside, extending 3 0 in. to the inside, and 12in. to the outside. One-inch expanded metal is used between the outside guard rail and the fencing to prevent children from going under the rail. The sleeping quarters are constructed with cedar logs lined with 2 in. plywood, and have a log roof and concrete floor sloping to a drain. A 4 ft. x 6 ft. section of the floors in each of the two rooms is electrically radiantly heated, and thermostatically controlled at about 65’. The rooms are approximately 8 ft.
