Seneca Park Zoo and Monroe County officials Friday unveiled a viewing atrium — the latest addition to the new elephant habitat at the zoo. The $4.4 million exhibit, which opened to the public in April, is about five times larger than the elephants' former habitat and includes a 10,000-square-foot shelter that can house up to five elephants, and a 20,000-square-foot yard.

A national animals rights group is calling for the end of elephant breeding at the Seneca Park Zoo. The group called "In Defense Of Animals" says breeding elephants in zoo conditions endanger their lives. Last week, Genny C lost her baby during delivery after 21 months of pregnancy.

"Our baby elephant has died," said County Executive Maggie Brooks. "Our concern now shifts to Genny C and her well-being."
