Givskud Zoo no longer keeps elephants. 57-year-old Sandrine fell ill of unknown causes last week, and no attempts at treatment worked, so the decision was made to euthanize her. The zoo's only remaining elephant, 54-year-old Medu, was put down slightly afterwards. While not terminally ill, she was still too old and frail to move to another zoo, and Givskud didn't want her to live alone. This leaves Copenhagen as the only Danish zoo to keep Asian elephants. Givskud hasn't decided what to do with the exhibit, but it won't house elephants again as it has been deemed outdated (opened in 1971), and the area around the exhibit is now a South American zone. The exhibit isn't completely empty, though, as a bachelor group of blackbuck has lived here for a few years.
Some while ago i realized that givskud no longer showed the cape buffaloes on their map, but according to zoochat they bred them last year, a time they have already been taken off the map. Are they still kept, and if so what part of the park?
When I visited today I saw three of them at the rhino-savanna, which is the enclosure they use to live in
