The Elephant Sanctuary, Animal sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, United States.
The Elephant Sanctuary extends across 2,700 acres of land, featuring specialized areas for Asian and African elephants with heated barns and secure fencing.
Founded in 1995 by Carol Buckley, the sanctuary began with the retirement of an elephant named Tarra and expanded to accommodate 32 retired elephants.
The Elephant Discovery Center provides educational exhibits and programming that focus on elephant conservation and their role in ecosystems.
The sanctuary operates Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with no direct elephant interactions available to maintain the animals' privacy.
Solar-powered cameras called EleCams allow remote monitoring of elephants and provide live streaming for supporters to observe the animals in their habitat.
