Elephants @ San Diego Zoo

Step into a fossil dig site, with a pathway crossing over a simulated tar pit that reveals bones from the Pleistocene. Explore Southern California's past and the animals that lived here 12,000 years ago including mammoths, lions, giant ground sloths, tapirs, and saber-toothed cats.

A pair of lions survey their territory, a foothill environment with rocky slopes, trees, grasses, and a stream. Next door, a jaguar prowls a marshy wetland habitat with rocks, trees, large branches and a stream that flows into a pond.
