Zoo creates a special temple with a pool for their elephants

Leipzig Zoo's elephant enclosure is designed to look more like a temple than a cage and includes a 135-square-metre swimming pool for the creatures.

The zoo claims the elephant enclosure is the most modern in the world. Visitors are able to watch through super-strength, glass panels as the animals swim under water.

The enclosure, named Ganesha Mandir by the zoo, also includes a huge shower area.
