I created this thread to write Japanese elephants here. I saw some threads with one post about elephants in Japan, so it could be written here.

Japan has an unsustainable elephant population and their births are only once every few years. They try to import elephants from other Asian countries, but their breeding is poorly managed and almost all elephants live in very unsuitable conditions.

There are currently 4.17 african elephants, 15.48 asian elephants and 0.1 forest elephants. But there are very few breeding cows and breeding is very few.

Ueno Zoo celebrates the birth of their first elephant calf:

Ueno Zoo Celebrates 1st Birth of Elephant

Ueno Zoo has seen the first birth of a baby elephant since it opened in 1882.

Authai, a female Asian elephant at the zoo in Tokyo, gave birth to a male calf at 5:44 a.m. Saturday.

Authai, born in Thailand, was contributed to Ueno Zoo with Artid, a male Asian elephant and the father of the newborn calf, in 2002, in celebration of the birth of Princess Aiko, the daughter of Japanese Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, in December 2001.

アフリカゾウ「だいすけ」が死亡しました
Sad news. The african bull Daisuke died in Omoriyama zoo. He was only 32 years old. They have only one elephant cow Lily now.

Since I came to the park from South Africa in 1990, I would like to thank many people for their love and support for my health after I feel sick. About the situation of Daisuke "Daisuke" has been showing signs of foot deformity since he was young, and he continued to take care of the soles of his feet. Due to weight gain and aging, the joints of the right hind leg have swollen since October last year, and due to the movement to protect it, the left hind leg has also been deformed and the amount of defecation has been unstable. .. He continued treatment and breeding to reduce leg pain and increase appetite, and he was in a lull from November, but he fell down on the bedroom floor around 1 am on March 5th. I did. He continued treatment, but was confirmed dead at 9:28 am.
