Description
This weird title has a meaning, promise.I had to upload a photo from the opening of Elephant Odyessy. Even though is was kinda crazy and crowded. I very much enjoyed being there and would do it all over again.
So the title... The whole feel of this new exhibit is built around when mammoths roamed Southern CA. However, the Wild Animal Park's Asian elephants moved to Zoo to be at this exhibit. Therefore you have "new" elephants, "return"ing to where their cousins once roamed.
Mary dusting herself after going into the deep part of the new pool. I love this lady.

What a great snapshot! I really like how you can see the dirt flying and he posture of Mary, plus her open mouth.
She seems so concentrated on what she is doing.

I am so sad that i had to let my pass run dead before this exhibit opened. I have been impatiently awaiting it for so long
Thanks for the lovely image from it's opening though! Allows me to get a glance in on it!
Such a wonderful image, love the 'action' with the dust flying. You always have fantastic elephant photos

Oo, I like how the dust curves up. It is like she is casting a little tornado spell.
