The Elephant Sanctuary | Building Trust: Dental Care

Elephants eat between 200 and 600 lbs of food each day. The Sanctuary's Husbandry Team performs regular check-ups to ensure the elephants' dental health — using a basic plumber’s camera to photograph their molars, which weigh about five pounds!

About The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee:
Located 85 miles southwest of Nashville in Hohenwald, Tenn., The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee provides elephants retired from performance and exhibition with individualized care, the companionship of a herd, and the opportunity to live out their lives in a safe haven dedicated to their well-being. The Sanctuary also works to raise public awareness of the complex needs of elephants in captivity, and the crisis facing elephants in the wild. The Elephant Discovery Center, The Sanctuary’s educational center with exhibits focused on elephants’ role as a keystone species, is open to visitors in downtown Hohenwald. The elephants’ habitats are closed to the public.
