An excellent idea hope they do this even give it a trial I believe this elephant complex/exhibit will give the Werribee zoo a new lease of life,...
It's crazy to think that I began this thread in January and already more zoos have gone out of elephants (or announced a decision). Just in 2024,...
The Melbourne exhibits might not have trees, but some overhang one of the paddocks and Luk Chai was intent on browsing from them on my visit. They...
Thanks for your helpful comments! I had thought so, just cow Felix did have a calf in 2003 (Max, born at Riddles, and passed away in December 2018...
States cannot disregard it, but I see no reason they can't enact additional regulations. While I can't think of any zoo related examples, a number...
To my knowledge, he has never been evaluated. I know under previous management he was "trained" for semen collection but when the time came and...
Are there any favorite or least favorite elephant exhibits you've seen, or particularly memorable experiences with elephants?
I’ve visited 551 different zoos and aquariums and I was curious to note how many zoos I’d been to with elephants. That question, which was posed...

I've seen Red-fronted Lemurs at 10 zoos, but never at 120 European zoos/aquariums. It's 7-3 U.S.A. over Canada for these guys! 1-...

Nice, here’s a revised list for New Zealand - sadly just omissions following phase outs of Sri Lankan elephant, Scimitar-horned oryx and Caracal....
Evolution of the Zoo Industry in Australasia Public pressure has clearly played a part in the evolution of our zoos both in Australasia and...
Well drill has kind of a long notable record of interesting zoo counts and reviews haha. Any captive animals at all? Back to tiny collections...
2023 is very nearly over, and with it a fantastic year of zoo-visiting has come to an end. Now feels like a good time to look back on the year. I...
The reason I did not mention small specialist collections in my original comment is because of the way these collections market themselves. For...
I have to say even as a dad (my offspring range from infant to preteen), I agree with others on here that Growing Wild takes up valuable space and...
I'm not so sure that either Nashville or Brookfield will ever bring back elephants. Nashville sent away its 4 female African elephants in 2015 and...
I'd be surprised if Roger Williams phases out elephants by 2031. In 2031, their three girls would still be 46 years old, which is a reasonable age...
