Abstract:

Due to dwindling wild populations and issues with climate and space for zoos, within a decade there will only be a few places in the United States where elephants will be on exhibit. The North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro plans to be one of those institutions. The zoo is opening a new habitat designed to improve their ability to breed both elephants and endangered white rhinos.
