Elephants @ San Diego Zoo

Step into a fossil dig site, with a pathway crossing over a simulated tar pit that reveals bones from the Pleistocene. Explore Southern California's past and the animals that lived here 12,000 years ago including mammoths, lions, giant ground sloths, tapirs, and saber-toothed cats.

Here you'll see three different types of animals living together. They have room to roam, rocks to climb, and their own pool, which the capybara and tapirs will make good use of, since they are fond of water. Mixed Species Exhibit made possible by Rendezvous in the Zoo 2005-2008.
