Elephant

  • Location: Elephant Odyssey
  • Conservation Status: Endangered
  • At Elephant Odyssey, you can experience the world’s largest land mammal! Elephants spend up to 16 hours per day eating and can eat as much as 330 pounds of food in one day—so you’re likely to see them munching on something. African elephants are grazer-browsers and eat a variety of vegetation, including grasses, leaves, shrubs, bark, and trees.

    A highly specialized feature of Elephant Odyssey is our Elephant Care Center, where you may see wildlife care experts scrubbing an elephant’s foot or observe elephants participating in their own healthcare and wellness routines. It’s a great place to chat with our wildlife care specialists, too!
