The Victoria Advocate: "Expected to be installed sometime this summer, the treadmill will be just over 20 feet long and five feet wide. Elephants walk by simultaneously moving two legs at a time along a path only about 18 inches wide, so the machine has to be able to withstand concentrated weight. It will be buried in a pit so that the surface is roughly level with the ground, with safety rails on either side of the treadmill's belt."
