Zoo’s Bumps Camel, Elephant Rides
The San Diego Zoo on Thursday terminated its contract with Trunk & Hump, the company that has provided elephant and camel rides there for six years. The cancellation was because of space constraints, zoo officials said.
Animals from the zoo’s Chit Chat Show will be moved into the area vacated by the elephants until a $5.5-million renovation of their home, Wegeforth Bowl, is completed, spokesman Jeff Jouett said.
