With the weather warming up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, it was a perfect day for Asian elephants Ranchipur, Cha Cha, Mary and Cookie to explore the San Diego Zoo's newly constructed animal habitat, The Harry and Grace Steele Elephant Odyssey.

  • @HenryDavidT tl;dr

  • If humans want their descendants, 500-1K years from now, to still be living among 100s of Earth's most majestic creatures, surely, homo sapiens can dedicate a few thousand prime acres towards preserving Nature's most majestic creatures, which took it 100s of millions of years to cut, shape, & package them to be the exquisite, majestic creatures they are... but ALL of which could be exterminated less than a 400 years, due mainly to humans' exponential population explosion since the 1800s...

  • Locating in the center of a beautiful city, covered by natural vegetation of trees, palms, bamboos, & all kinds of exotic plants --- with an 10K+ acre expanded companion Wild Animal Park situating a bit out of the way towards the mountains --- San Diego Balboa Park is superb as the world's premier, year-round-climate, world animal sanctury (a S. CAL climiate where 100 degree desert to alpine cold, snow, could be had in a 45 minute drive)..

  • Having grown up & lived in San Diego for over 20 years, my one wish, a futuristic fantasy, really.... as a homo sapien --- if humans are truly caring enough about the majestic animals they put in exhibitions --- was that the whole Balboa Park would be turned into a true sanctuary for animals. Balboa Park is large enough, (plus the Wild Animal Park), to become the world's premier, true animal sanctuary...

  • How much does Smitty weigh now? I heard she lost weight since the last couple tears. Please write back!
