(Hope this hasn't been discussed before; couldn't find anything on it) I'll just get right to the point. Why are there no loxodonta cyclotis is captivity? (Yes I am aware of the few individuales in Japan) Is it because of food requirements(I would assume it would just be fruit and forest...

I found this document online about the zoo's elephant care protocols manual and all the rules. I know it was definitely active in 2005-2004, but am unsure of how active these rules are now. This also talks about what would happen if the animals get stuck in the moat, but that is irrelevant...

I've been looking for pictures of the elephant house (Herbivora Building) before it was renovated around 2000 (Vanishing Giants). As a child I remember seeing hippos and walking through the building; does anyone have any photos of either the interior or exterior of the building from before 2000...

I was at pafos zoo last Tuesday. They are were heavily advertising locally they are expecting elephants any day. All images suggested Africans were on the agenda but the on sign on the rather small enclosure said Asian? Does anyone have any further information on the expected elephants. :)

I've seen several websites discussing how cetaceans (especially orcas) and elephants don't thrive in captivity, often with a quite emotional text and emotional (as well as sometimes slightly photoshopped) images of animals looking sad. This huge focus on how saddening and cruel it is to keep...

I recently created a scale model of Zoo de Vincennes's famous bull elephant Siam, deceased in 1997. This isn't exactly memorabilia but I thought some people might find it interesting. I didn't get a chance to see this animal in person but I gathered whatever images I could find from the...

Hello, I am currently studying a degree in Animal Management and my chosen topic for my dissertation is the study of the different behaviour of wild and captive elephants. I would greatly appreciate any examples or happenings they may know of and specific stereotypical or abnormal...

I would like to know if certain expensive species to exhibit are worth the money put into. Do the profits of showcasing these specific animals offset the major costs needed? Some that come to mind include the following: Elephant: Major attraction, but major cost in landscaping, buildings, and...

I would like to direct you to a facebook page (Calgary Elephants) and petition (thepetitionsite.com) which has been created by concerned Calgarians who are trying to persuade the zoo to consider other options. The zoo leases a 320 acre parcel of land south of the city which would be a wonderful...

Hi Could I find you to support this petition. The wild life in Tanzania is suffering the worst attacks and killings by poachers ever. Tanzania has lost 50% if it's elephant population in 3 months time. Please sign: Tanzania: Stop the poaching of elephants!

Hi all! I'm doing a bit of benchmarking on elephant exhibits and I'm looking for some guidance on the best indoor exhibits around the world. Details as to size are always helpful. Also, I've got an image in my head of an unknown zoo that I swear I had a photo of, but can't seem to locate it...
