Bioparc Valencia: circa 2013

African elephants
Are these all members of the herd, or there are more? As I can see, some are subadult elephants.


Spain holds the third largest population of African bush elephants in Europe (OK data from 1999).
 
In Valencia there 2,6 African elephants now.

I suppose those 2 are elephant bulls that are kept apart from the 6-member herd? Or there is one elephant bull, and 7-members herd of wich one is young male, or all (2.6) are herd members, with two male elephants?
 
The males are : Kibo (adult) from Boras; and (the younger) Jambo, from Colchester.
Usually Kibo and two adult females are together (but not everyday) and Jambo it's with the "females herd"
