An exciting new scientific study was just completed, which indicated that Adult survivorship of Asian & African Elephants in North American & European zoos has significantly improved between 1910 & today. According to the study, survivorship of zoo populations is currently even higher than some...

Was trying to think of which European zoos still hold both elephant species since Tierpark Berlin stopped and could only think of Pairi Daiza. Was curious to know if there is any more and how common this is in other parts of the world? I would be even more curious to know how many places still...

Wilstem Wildlife Park is a roadside zoo in Paoli, Indiana. The park has a variety of ABC animals, including giraffes, grizzly bears, and both African and Asian elephants. Interestingly, their elephants were not listed on elephant.se, nor were they listed on any of the North American elephant...

I am currently researching elephant houses at London zoo, most notably the Casson pavilion at London zoo and the elephant house by Tecton at Whipsnade Zoo. Unfortunately both of these are closed to the public now. If anyone has visited either of these buildings whilst they house elephants or...

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.

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.

With records of over 4,200 individual elephants that have resided in North America (but many still to go), it is always exciting to find another. Miami animal dealer Alton Freeman sent this 3-year-old female Asian elephant “Mamie” to a new zoo in Ciudad Trujillo, Dominican Republic in January...

As promised elsewhere, in this thread, I would like to introduce you to another fun part of the Czech zoo community. Part that sparks joy, controversy, provokes discussion and if you don't take it too seriously it's quite fun. So without further ado, let's jump straight into it: What is this...

A new vaccine for deadly EEHV (Elephant Endotheliotrophic Herpes Virus) is to begin a trial at Chester Zoo in the UK, with assistance from the University of Surrey. If the trials are successful the vaccine would be invaluable for zoos worldwide and for wild elephant populations. Full article...
