Only zoo I have seen warthogs mixed in a large field exhibit - just fantastic!
You arrived after their 43 year old bull Chico died... He was the largest bull in North America In this photo is Rolinda and Binti (the tuskless female).

@gorgeousingray: was that the only African bull elephant in Texas? Do any Texas zoos have African elephants besides Caldwell Zoo, Cameron Park, and Dallas? Someone mentioned that Dallas does not have a bull elephant - do you know if they have any plans to have a breeding herd eventually (or if any Texas zoos do)?
 
There are currently no other African bulls in Texas. Chico was the only African bull I've ever even seen. No breeding herds anytime soon.
 
With in ten years it is likely Dallas will have a bull, as the animals created by the captive breeding program need more suitable homes, and Dallas is equipped with bull facilities.
But like jbnbsn99 said not anytime soon.
