Keep an eye out...you may spot some special features designed for the elephant habitat that help keep them active and healthy.  

There is a large indoor exercise area so that elephants have plenty of space to stroll.  An elephant's trunk features over 100,000 muscles, so hay feeders are elevated to help exercise them all. There's also a shower they can use to drink fresh water and rinse off!

OhioHealth Tip: Getting in daily movement is vital to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Head outdoors...it’s the perfect season to get that movement in!
