Haha, now we're taking Seattle's elephants!
Earlier this week, it was announced that the Oklahoma City Zoo would be acquiring a pair of endangered Asian elephants from Seattle's Woodlawn Park Zoo on a long-term loan. The move is both practical and symbolic. It's practical because the elephants would join the existing Oklahoma City heard and live inside our zoo's new, expansive 9-acre elephant exhibit. It's symbolic because it would show that Seattle has finally put to rest the bitterness they've had for OKC since Howard Schultz sold the Sonics to Clay Bennett and his posse of wildcatters
