Abstract: A large animal handling chute designed to accommodate an elephant includes a fixed wall assembly and an opposing, movable wall assembly. The movable wall assembly is selectively movable toward and away from the fixed wall assembly upon movable supports traversing a pair of top and a pair of bottom support rails. The movable wall is independently pivotable at each of the movable supports. Four leg straps, two body straps, and a body support flap are provided to secure the elephant within the chute, and the entire chute including the confined elephant is rotatable about a pivot support to make the elephant's feet and legs accessible to a handler. A floor is hinged to the fixed wall assembly and can be hydraulically lowered to a horizontal position once the chute is rotated. The lowered floor thus provides a convenient work platform for an animal handler or veterinarian.
