asian elephant

The zoo is shome to a single Asian elephant, named Lucy. This sign, at the entrance to her house, explains her whereabouts. The house itself is currently off-limits due to COVID-19 and Lucy's health.

Tried to use the leaves in the foreground as a short of frame for the photo. As I've mentioned before, elephants are a bit of a photography nemesis for me because I do not know how to handle a subject that takes up that much space so its kind of hard to come up with ways to photograph them.

This shot isn't too interesting in terms of expression, and I wish I had stuck around longer so I could capture something a little more impressive but I liked the orange sunlight on the elephant and the way I used depth of field for the composition so I figured I'd share it.

Elephants are an animal I struggle with photographing because their extreme size makes it hard to work with in terms of space for me but it can be fun when I get into it. The way they use their trunks can make for some great photos.

Between the two of them, Fort Worth and Houston have three adult Asian bulls in their facilities: Romeo, Colonel, and Thailand. Who is the largest? I'm guessing that Thai is the heaviest and Romeo is the tallest. Casey used to be in Fort Worth and he looked overweight.

Since a number bulls and cows of both African & Asian Elephants have passed away over the last decade I thought it would be a good idea to update who currently holds the record for largest elephants (of both sexes) in captivity across the globe. The last time I checked Zoochat there was a debate...

This is a thread for people to record their memories of the great Asian Elephant Siam (1946-1997) who lived at the zoo and who is now on display at the Grand Gallerie de l'Evolution. I'm a huge fan of his so I thought it'd be appropriate for others to share their experiences seeing him whether...

As some of ZooChat may know I am a HUGE fan of Siam (1946-1997), the massive, legendary Asian tusker that used to live in the Paris Zoo and since 2001 can be found in the Musee National D'Histoire Naturelle in the Jardin Des Plantes, a 15-minute walk from Notre Dame. He was an incredible animal...
