San Francisco Zoo Elephants

This pictures was posted on April 11th under "Unknown Zoos #4" with the question, "is this possibly San Francisco's defunct elephant exhibit?" I guess now we know.

This link has some interesting footage of a San Francisco Zoo elephant whom apparently fell into the moat. The first .35 sec. has neat footage of Jim Alexander walking his "pups," followed by a quick shot of Radar getting ready to practice, followed by the "elephant rescue" which starts at .39 sec.
