Sarasota Revisited #10

This barn was built to accommodate the 20 baby elephants imported in 1954 and was very attractive.
The old barn was directly behind it.

love your site - thank you fir sharing your knowledge as well as your experiances thru the years! ( along with all the other that have contributed their lifes!
I have never had tge opportunity to visit tge property but was curious -

1- how many ele' could the entire property accomdate at on time ? Or what was the average holdings ?

2- as for excercise room - what would be the time frame they ( the baby s ) as well as the adults be kept in the barns vs ( ate there any Padocks associated with these barns ? How large where they?

I am curious based in the PETA nuts today - worrying about room ESP in our zoos . These people drive me crazy to think only 2 places in all of the USA should be allowed to keep ele' .
I am just curious what their daily routines would be ?

I wish u could write a "tell all " book of everything from your family history - to a complete manual on your dealings with individual ele' and your experiances with them!
Thanks again buckles ! Keep up the great work !
