    If they provide modern and quality spacious housing then I guess elephants will arrive from somewhere in due course, even if its only young bulls that are desperate for re-housing, though that is not their intended aim, which seems to be either to have a breeding group or 'rescues'- its a bit unclear which.

    With Longleat's plans for more elephants seemingly falling behind, and this powering ahead, they could realistically become the elephant centre for the area. But having seen the general layout and standard of other enclosures here, I still find it rather difficult to accept this is really happening here.:eek:

    NAZF has just reopened after the winter break so you can go past in on the tractor ride.
    Best place to look for pictures in on the web site.
    The weather has made work interesting to say the least.:rolleyes:

    Is there any indication what for elephants they could get? Young males? Problematic old cows? Circus animals?

    I knew that would probably be the first question.
    :eek:
    Sorry not my department.
    :confused:
    I would like to know as well.
    There are some possibilities, lots of rumors, but to be honest I don’t think anybody knows yet.


    :cool:
    I am just building it like the ball park in some old film I saw… “You build it and they will come”
