Elephant Exhibit at Bioparc Valencia, 28/05/11

With both the giant baobabs and a magic waterfall - ticking the African immersion boxes.

Is this exhibit big enough for the elephants?

Plenty big enough. There are mulitple viewing areas and a very good-sized herd.

That looks great. I really like the baobabs.

The total size of the elephants exhibit it's (including keepers paths, no visible area for public and shelters) 10'000 sqr.metres about 2'5 acres.

Any breeding from the Colchester young bulls Kito or Jambo? What is Valencia's group like?

-Jambo is the only Colchester bull at the Bioparc. Being 7 I don't think he is quite to breeding age yet.
-Kito went to the Dvur Kralove zoo in the Czech republic
-As for herd structure at the Bioparc there are 1.9 elephants .6 of them coming from a ranch in Namibia ranging in age from 6-11. Then there are .2 from the moscow zoo (age 28)
then .1 from a circus in spain (age 26)

Hope I answered your questions!
