The elephants will move in sometime around March, and the house will open around June/July.

Yeah, Irma is quite famous by know. It is also her line of descendants that have made him a greatgrandfather. His other two famous children are Chang, Chester Zoo's old breeding male, and Irma Boon Ma, currently living in Cincinnati Zoo.
I will start a new thread about the elephant house soon, with more info on the house and all the elephants. I will keep updating it with shots of the constuction site, and as much info as i can gather. I am going to see the house and the elephants on and exclusive tour on April 8th, so you can count on some pictures by then.

Actually, I hope that the survival rate of elephant calves born in Copenhagen will improve, if I remember correctly the only calves still alive are Irma, Chang, the female in Cinncinnatti and the youngest one born in 2006 (Gandhi). That means all calves born between the early 80´th (when Chang was born) and 2006 died in their youth. That is not a good breeding record.

We have just had the worst luck possible with our elephant calves lately.
Hannibal (1997-1997) His mother Coco rejected him at birth. The keepers atempted to handrear him, but he died of an illness. Coco (1986-2003) and Punjab (2001-2003) Both died of a mysterious disease within a short period. Thankfully, no other elephants where infected. Santosh (1996-2006) Santosh was a great lookign young elephant, and was considered to be the new breeding male. He was sent to Plock Zoo in 2003, and died there of a disease in early 2006.
