                From what I understand, the elephant was plagued with
problems because of
                some well-intentioned insulation attempts that went horribly
wrong.

                As I recall (but don't quote me, 'cause I'm doing this
completely from memory
                on a presentation I went to several years ago) to correct
the problem, and
                make the structure useful, the interior spaces were restored
to their
                original configuration; however, these spaces now serve as a
climate
                controled 'box' supported inside the elephant, while the
skin and structure
                of the elephant are not insulated or climate controled. In
this way they
                prevent condensation on the elephant itself.
