Longleat reveals elephant enclosure plans

POSTED 20 Feb 2013 . BY Tom Walker

Longleat Safari and Adventure Park in Wiltshire has unveiled plans for a new 10-hectare elephant sanctuary.

The plans, submitted for approval to the local council, include a 994sq m (10,700sq ft) heated accommodation area with sand floors, natural sky light panels, automated feeding systems and a specialist treatment area.

Longleat is currently home to one female elephant - a former circus animal that was rescued following secret footage showing her being mistreated by her former groom. The new enclosure will become a permanent home to her.

When completed, the new enclosure will be able to house up to four elephants.
