AEC Part 2: A Matter of Commitment
While construction of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's new elephant habitat, African Elephant Crossing, is looking more finished every day, we cannot forget the people involved in making the exhibit a reality. In this video, you'll hear a more personal side of the story from Cleveland Zoological Society Trustee Lauren Spilman. Lauren wanted to share with us the importance of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and African Elephant Crossing — to both her, her family and the greater Cleveland community.
Construction Update, Part 1

In this first construction update, you'll learn about some external features in the exhibit's "Savanna Range" — huge mud-bank planters, an outdoor aviary and the north elephant pool.
