Buffalo zoo has sent their three Asian elephant cows to the Columbus Zoo while their holding areas are being expanded to meet minimum requirements. According to the article the Buffalo girls will not be "comingled" with Columbus's elephants...no chance for breeding...and they will be returned this summer.
WNED: Buffalo Zoo Elephants Move to Ohio (2008-04-14) What a shame. When I first saw the headline I thought for sure they were going to pack off their elephants so their young founder cows could be part of a breeding program. New reports of future plans dont even include expansion of Buffalo's exhibit and starting a breeding program. Zooplantman posted this article in the New Exhibits of 2008 thread. Buffalo zoo's elephant program doesnt look to bright and I doubt those cows will be able to contribute to the population.

It's really too bad about the death of the elderly african elephant at the Philadelphia Zoo, as she was just about to be transferred to more spacious surroundings in Pittsburgh. Years of living in a terrible exhibit is bad enough, but just when things were looking up...

The mama to be, Asali, was one of the few African Elephants born in an American zoo during the 1980s. Asali was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, TX, she is the only living offspring of the old breeding pair. The zoo no longer holds elephants, at least for now.

When i was at Disney,Moyo was very very much so pregnant.During Kilmanjaro,you could see the difference in size and a person on Pangani confirmed it was Moyo after i described her.Oh,if anyone one has ever been on Disney Animal Kingdom's Pangani Trail.You may remember the savanna edge area with gerunuk and meerkat (quite nice).When we were here we noticed that the area behind it was actually Kilimanjaro (confirmed by one of safari jeeps being sighted behind it)And one of the kudu was quite intent on peeking over the the little hill to see if there was anything over there.it was held back by hotwire though so it really could'nt do much and it was just a baby so it could'nt jump it.

Species with longer gestations dont always tend to birth near the due date. For example, okapi have a 440 day gestation. However most of my females calve around 420-30 days. So I would expect elephant managers to anticipate a birth with a widge range, but focusing on the possibility of a birth that could occur sooner than expected.

The Dallas Zoo is sending its lone African elephant to Africam Safari in Mexico..sounds like they have a pretty good program there. There also seem to be a lot of objections from those not wanting Jenny to go to some Mexican zoo, especially from a local councilwoman.

I don't know why people don't want the elephant to move to mexico if that zoo is part of AZA.
