Great list Jaxton ! Had just a quick look and discovered one small failure. Punda at Beekse Bergen got pregnant from her latest calf at Wuppertal ( father being Tusker ) but the calf ( Madiba ) was born at Beekse Bergen.
I moved these posts to an existing, if slightly bare, African Elephants in Europe thread. A couple of points: I assume you mean Berlin Tierpark not Zoo. What happened to Swana, Justa and Stavit, who are listed as mothers of calfs at Howletts? I didn't realise the situation was as bad as this. Are Boras, Cabarceno, Howletts and Wuppertal really the only regularly breeding herds? I also wonder, based on how many animals it has contributed to the European population, whether it might be worth adding Ramat Gan Zoo to this list, at least in an honorary capacity?
I I do mean Berlin Tierpark, my bad. Justa died in 2010, and so did Swana and Stavit in 2013. I think the issue is there are so many bulls housed with post-reproductive females and reproductive females not housed with bulls. And Yossi at the Ramat Gan Zoo is the sire of a majority of these elephants.
West Midlands Safari Park - Sutton was born in 2014 not 2015 Is there any arrangement pending for Beauval to receive a new adult male anytime soon?
17 year old cow Kwanza (Kibo x Dudu) at Sosto Zoo gave birth to a male calve on June 16th. The calf is sired by Jack. This is their second calf together, and both are males.
Zola, a 23 year old female at Zoo Zlin gave birth on July 1 shortly after midnight. The male calf was born dead. A devastating loss. Zola is doing okay.
A few updates: - Two males from the Wuppertal Zoo, Uli and Moyo, are moved to the Magdeburg Zoo on June 25. - 32 year old Bibi at Serengeti Park gave birth to her 5th calf, a stillborn male on July 7. The calf's father was Abu. - 11 year old bull Kando from the Berlin Tierpark moved to the Magdeburg Zoo on July 12. - 13 year old cow, Infinita, gave birth to a male calf on July 26 at the Cabarceno Zoo. The calf's father is Jumar.

It is astonishing to me that on a continent that has been 'struggling' with African Elephants there is a zoo which can seemingly churn them out like Wuppertal does. I really hope that the Wuppertal cows that were moved to Beekse Bergen are productive. Is 0.1 Mwana still at Magdeburg? How will they handle her and their new bachelor group?
0.1 Mwana still resides at the Magdeburg Zoo however, to my knowledge, it's undetermined whether Mwana is separated from or lives with the bulls. With the passing of 0.1 Birma (Asian Elephant), I would presume that Mwana is able to interact with the bulls through barriers.
@TeaLovingDave ,@ThylacineAlive & @ShonenJake13 have all visited recently, perhaps they can shed some light on that. What is the situation with Valencia? Any specific reason why they aren't breeding?
1.0 Tembo was transferred from Tierpark Berlin to the Dresden Zoo on November 13, 2018. Tierische Neuigkeiten | Tiere zum Anfassen nah - im Zoo Dresden The transfer of 1.0 Tembo from Tierpark Berlin to the Dresden Zoo will enable the Dresden Zoo to participate in the reproduction of African elephants in Europe. In addition, it’ll enable 1.0 Tembo, a proven breeding bull, to breed with 0.1 Drumbo, a proven breeding cow, 0.1 Mogli and 0.1 Sawu, two genetically valuable cows.
