Asian Elephants in Europe

It’s with great sadness that 0.1 Nandita Hi Way and 1.0 Aayu Hi Way passed away on October 25, 2018 at the Chester Zoo from EEHV.
Chester Zoo | Zoo News | Aayu and Nandita

This is a significant blow for the Chester Zoo and the European Asian elephant population as Nandita was a genetically valuable female while Aayu was one of only two viable calves produced by 0.1 Sithami. Both calves were valuable members of Thi Hi Way’s matriarchal herd.

My condolences to the Chester Zoo’s Elephant Team during their time of heartache and sorrow.
 
1.0 Gandhi was transferred from the Heidelberg Zoo to the La Palmyre Zoo on November 8, 2018.
Elefant Gandhi ist nach Frankreich gezogen

The transfer of 1.0 Gandhi from the Heidelberg Zoo to the La Palmyre Zoo will enable the La Palmyre Zoo to participate in the reproduction of Asian elephants in Europe. In addition, it’ll enable 1.0 Gandhi to breed with 0.1 Ziha. Depending on their fertility, Gandhi could also breed with 0.1 Alix and 0.1 Malicia.

This is a significant blow for the Budapest Zoo and the European Asian elephant population as Asha was a young genetically valuable female. Further, she was the first offspring of her parents: Assam (Chang x Thi Hi Way) & Angele (Shinto x Malicia).

Wasn't the mother of 'Assam', Jangoli?
 
0.1 Mya (Khaing Mya Htoo) was transferred from the Whipsnade Zoo to the Naples Zoo on December 12, 2018.

The transfer of Mya from the Whipsnade Zoo to the Naples Zoo will enable Mya to socialize with a compatible herd mate. In addition, it'll provide Jula with a new companion after the death of her mother Winthida.

0.1 Lai Sinh gave birth to a male calf on December 24, 2018 at Tierpark Hagenbeck. The sire is 1.0 Gajendra (Hellabrunn Zoo).

This is a significant gain for Tierpark Hagenbeck as the zoo lost Anjuli and Kanja, two young elephant calves, to EEHV in June. In addition, the calf is very genetically valuable as he's from wildborn Gajendra and wildborn Lai Sinh.

Twenty three year old 0.1 Homaline passed away on December ?, 2018 at the Pont Scorff Zoo.
Homaline -> Petra Prager - elefanten-fotolexikon.eu

This is a significant blow for the Pont Scorff Zoo and the European Asian elephant population as Homaline was a reproductively viable female. Further, she was only one of four viable calves sired by Shinto which made Homaline genetically valuable.


Fifty two year old 0.1 Rada passed away on December 27, 2018 at the Münster Zoo.

The male calf born to 1.0 Gajendra and 0.1 Lai Sinh on December 24, 2018 at Tierpark Hagenbeck has been named Santosh.

0.1 Donna gave birth to a female calf on January 12, 2019 at the Whipsnade Zoo. The sire is 1.0 Raja (Woburn Safari Park). Sadly, the unnamed calf passed away on January 16, 2019.

This is a devastating blow for the Whipsnade Zoo and the European Asian elephant population as the calf was conceived through artificial insemination, was a significant member of the Whipsnade Zoo’s elephant herd, and was a genetically valuable female.


0.1 Hoa gave birth to a male calf on January 25, 2019 at the Leipzig Zoo. The sire is 1.0 Naing Thein (Leipzig Zoo).

This is Hoa’s third calf (first viable calf) and Naing Thein’s nineteenth calf (ninth viable calf), and their third calf together.

I wonder why elephant herpes virus stucks repeatedly the same zoos, like Chester and Berlin. If it is true that all herds are infected, there must be some other reason.
 
I wonder why elephant herpes virus stucks repeatedly the same zoos, like Chester and Berlin. If it is true that all herds are infected, there must be some other reason.

With the recent passings of Nandita, Aayu, and Asha from EEHV, I began to ponder the same question. After researching and hypothesizing, I was able to deduce this possible explaination.

All Asian elephants, captive and wild, have EEHV. However, zoos such as Berlin and Whipsnade have been continually impacted by EEHV yet zoos such as Dublin and Emmen have been unaffected. Based on this information, I would assume that some elephant herds are more susceptible to certain strains of EEHV than others. I believe this to be the case as EEHV has many different strains which is why some herds may have a strain that they're resistant to yet others may not. For exmaple, zoos like Chester and Houston have many deaths connected to EEHV but zoos like Hannover and Cologne have zero deaths related to EEHV. There's a strong probability that Chester has a strain of EEHV that becomes deadly when active but Hannover has a strain of EEHV that remains dormant. Ultimately, some elephant herds, captive and wild, are more susceptible to EEHV than others because of their inability to repress the disease caused by the virus.

This may be true, but perhaps only if the disease is transmitted by the elephant cows, because the bull Upali does not seem to have carried it when he was transferred from Chester to Dublin.
 
This may be true, but perhaps only if the disease is transmitted by the elephant cows, because the bull Upali does not seem to have carried it when he was transferred from Chester to Dublin.

Since all but one of his calves (0.1 Sundara) from Chester have died from EEHV and none of his calves from Dublin have died from EEHV, Upali may have a strain of EEHV that Dublin's elephant herd is resistant to but Chester's elephant herd is not. Based on speculation, I believe Upali introduced a strain of EEHV that Chester's elephant herd is susceptible to, which explains why almost all of his calves from Chester have died from the virus. Upali resided at the Chester Zoo from May 1997 to July 2012, which means that Upali has been in contact with every calf born between that time period. Wouldn't mean that the calves born prior to Upali's were also susceptible to the strain introduced by him? No becuase, based on speculation, young elephant calves don't have the ability to transmit the virus until they reach peak sexual maturity. That would explain why calves such as 1.0 Tunga and 0.1 Sundara were unaffected. Once Upali reached peak sexual maturity, he was able to shed the virus through his salival secretions. Ultimately, some elephant herds are either resistant or susceptible to different strains of EEHV.

The transfer of Upali from the Dublin Zoo to the Le Pal Zoo will enable Upali to breed with Nina. However, to my knowledge, it's unknown whether Nina has completely healed from her leg injury and will be able to carry the additional weight of pregnancy.

With the publication of this news, Europe will have the birth of two Asian elephants between 2019 and 2020; Farina (Pairi Daiza) who's expecting in May 2019, and Shu Thu Zar (Cologne Zoo) who's expecting in Summer 2020.
 
The female calf born to 1.0 Po Chin and 0.1 Aye Chan May on February 26, 2019 at Pairi Daiza has been named Malee.

The male calf born to 1.0 Naing Thein and 0.1 Hoa on January 25, 2019 at the Leipzig Zoo was rejected by his mother and is currently being handraised by the elephant handlers. Fortunately, the calf is still receiving his mother's milk through bottle feeding along with formula milk. At birth, the calf weighed 108 kg (238 Ibs) but his weight dropped to 84 kg (185 Ibs) after the transition to hand rearing. Fortunately, he's now gaining weight and is currently weighing in at nearly 100 kg (220 Ibs). Further, the calf has been steadily introduced to 0.1 Don Chung and 0.1 Rani. It's hoped that the calf will be accepted by the two and be successfully integrated into their social group. So far, introductions have been going well.

The male calf at the Leipzig Zoo has begun to explore the outdoor enclosure alongside the handlers and accompanied by Don Chung and Rani. Even though the calf can now be seen in the outdoor space, unfavorable weather conditions will inhibit the public from viewing him.

In addition to the integration of the calf with Don Chung and Rani, the stabilization of the calf is vitally important. Despite gaining weight, and currently weighing in at 105 kg (231 Ibs), the calf has yet to reach his birth weight of 108 kg (238 Ibs). In addition, the calf has fully transitioned to substitute milk as his mother Hoa has stoppped producing milk. Furthermore, the calf has been diagnosed with an umbilical hernia which will require surgery in the coming weeks.

For Rani, the bonding between her and the calf not only provides both elephants with greater socialization but it also serves another important purpose: Rani is pregnant. Since Rani is an inexperienced mother, the calf will help teach her the skills needed to rear a calf, and prepare her for the birth expected in the Spring of 2020. The father of the unborn calf is Voi Nam.

Fifty three year old 0.1 Rekka passed away on April 24, 2019 at the Burgers' Zoo.
Goodbye Rekka | Burgers' Zoo

As of April 25th, the elephant calf is three months old, a significant milestone after all he's gone through. Fortunately, after weeks of hard work and worrisome complications, the calf is developing well. Don Chung is doing an expectional job caring for the calf and their relationship has strengthened. Also, the calf continues to grow stronger on his replacement milk. Two times a day, the calf can be seen in the outdoor enclosure when the weather is favourable. Further, the calf continues to develop natural elephant behaviours by wallowing in the mud. The calf is still expected to have surgery to correct his umbilical hernia but that will only take place once he is stronger and able to compensate for the formula milk.

The elephant calf at the Leipzig Zoo has successfully underwent surgery to correct his umbilical hernia. After reaching 140 kg (309 Ibs), the calf was strong enough to undergo the operation. Since recovering from the anesthetic, the calf has drank substitute milk, which is promising as this was the first time an operation of this kind was conducted on an elephant. The elephant handlers will continue to monitor the calf to ensure he has successfully recovered from the anesthetic and continues nursing from the bottle. If no complications arise, the calf should make a full recovery in the coming weeks.

With 234 (102.132) Asian elephants considered potential breeding candidates, Europe has succeeded in developing a sustainable population of Asian elephants. However, many elephants in Europe can trace their lineage back to either Chieng Mai, Motek, Radza, Maxi, Ramon, Hussein, Naing Thein, Ankhor, Calvin, or Nikolai so breeding must be well coordinated to prevent inbreeding.
Does anyone know what happened to the two cows "Chikki" and "Milli" from Cricket-St-Thomas Wildlife Park???
