What Is Elephant Odyssey? Elephant Odyssey is the most ambitious exhibit project the San Diego Zoo has ever developed. This new area showcases animals in a truly unique setting. Guests have an opportunity to see elephants in an exhibit that features a state-of-the-art care center as well as mixed-species exhibits with some unusual animals. Mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects can all be found in Elephant Odyssey. These seemingly unrelated animals from all over the world are, in fact, connected through their ancestral history in Southern California.
After risking her life to uncover a Chinese imperial seal, only to have it stolen by a cunning tomb robber, archaeologist Annja Creed feels she has endured one treasure-hunting fiasco too many.

The artifact is said to be hidden in a vast and ancient temple complex in the mountainous jungles of Southeast Asia, and Annja must meet with various scholars in order to pinpoint its location. But when each expert she visits is found dead, Annja fears someone else is after the artifact.
