Some very late updates on Le PAL's elephant group:
• Young male Jack (born in 2021) died in July 2023 of herpesvirus. Out of 3 calves born to Nina at Le PAL (Jade, Tom and Jack), only male Tom (born in 2014) is alive. Female Jade (born in 2008) also died of herpesvirus in 2015.
• Tom left for Maubeuge zoo in March 2024, where he was renamed 'Jivann' for some reason.
So as of now there are 4 elephants left at the park: females Acra, Kavery and Nina, and male Upali.
Incidentally, Kavery and Nina (mother and daughter) were the last elephants to leave zoo de Vincennes in 2005. Nina's father is Siam.
