CINCINNATI (WKRC) - The Cincinnati Zoo is one giant step closer to building a new home for the elephants.
The Cincinnati Business Courier reports the state of Ohio is kicking in $1.5 million to help fund the new Elephant Trek. It's part of a $150-million expansion.
Once complete, the elephants will have overhead feeding stations, ponds, a stream, mud wallows and five times the space to explore.
