WMZ Elephants
12-07-2008
Hi, Does anyone have any information on the elephants that were kept here, How many there were or what happened to them? I'm sure at least a couple of people on here must have seen them when they were still around?
If anyone has any pictures that they would put up in the gallery ? that would be great! |

I think they had a female African called Myfanwy, who is (according to a website i visited... can't remember which) now living at Blair Drummond, although I'm pretty certain they never had an elephant of that name there.
That's all I know though, as I've never visited there. |

Does anyone have any photos of this zoo? I probably should have visited there by now since I live in Wales :-s
How big is the enclosure the elephants used to live in? |

Dont worry your not missing anything. The enclosure is really too small for Camels let alone Elephants and very few of the animals in my opinion have good enought enclosures.
Havent visited in a while so im not sure how the new Reptile House looks like. |
