Happy New Year everyone! Here's to another GIANT year for the North American African Elephant population! Again, please let me know if you notice any inaccuracies. I have gone ahead and included any currently known pregnancies within the population.



2023 Yearly Overview

2023 was another ele-fantastic year for the African elephant population. Within the population, there were 9 Transfers, 5 births, 7 deaths, as well as 9 confirmed pregnancies! If all continues well and we see no deaths like in 2022, this would see the North American population have a total of 16 births in 3 years with a net gain of 9 individuals!

1.0 Butch at Wildlife Safari died on June 27, 2022. Also, what happened to 0.1 Sheila at Six Flags Great Adventure?

There is still one confirmed pregnancy (facility hasn't revealed yet)

Yeah, I think rather than "confirmed pregnancies" it'd be better for threads like this to talk about "announced pregnancies", as there will always be facilities that for whatever reason don't announce their confirmed pregnancies.
 
Looks like Sedgwick sent out semen samples for AI several times last year to Hogle Zoo and a couple other facilities. Hopefully this resulted in a pregnancy or perhaps even multiple!

The elephant team also conducted a semen collection in order to help increase the African Elephant population. This semen was transferred to other Zoo facilities for artificial insemination.

“We transferred samples to the Hogle Zoo,” Newland said. “That was just one of several semen transfers that we did in ’23 to help support the African elephant population.”

2023 in Review at the Zoo – Sedgwick County Zoo
 
One of my friends visited the San Diego Safari Park last week and advised me that Vusmusi was in with a few of the girls and courting behaviour was observed. Although he didn't observe any mating, I do think it is important to note that he was only at the exhibit for no more than ten minutes due to time constraints.

Fingers crossed Musi gets the job done and we can welcome calves in time for the completion of the renovations to elephant valley.
 
Asha moved from Natural Bridge to Two Tails
0.1 Asha was transported to Two Tails Ranch on November 29 of 2023 before the Natural Bridge Zoo was raided by the State of Virginia due to animal welfare allegations. It is unknown if she will return now that the case has ended but it appears that the park was desperately trying to get her out before the animals were seized in order to remain ownership of her.

Isn’t Vus Musi a hothead towards females though?

He has just taken a while to get settled at the Safari Park but he has finally started to show some interest in some of the younger girls and I've heard of some promising news. There was a nice photo posted on the Zoo and Safari Park's photography Facebook page of him with Kami a couple weeks ago.

That doesn’t answer my question. @PSO stated before while he was at Fresno he was an extreme hothead towards the girls there. I think @Hyak_II also has said he was at Fresno too.

Nothing is known here. Even saying she was transported to avoid the raid is an assumption, because we don't know if she normally was sent to Florida for winters while the zoo was closed.

From the sounds of it, there's been positive interactions at the Safari Park between Musi and the cows thus far. Whether that's due to the fact that he's familiar with the facility and some of the cows or that's he's finally maturing into an adult bull. Either way, it seems to be promising.

That is not the case. Asha's move have been planned for several years now and a hard date was set after this season

Thank you both for the additional information! I was simply restating what this article and others have stated which was incorrect and my apologies for the false claims.

So it is a permanent move and she's not just staying there for the winter when the zoo would have been closed anyway?

In the wilds a mature adult dominant African elephant bull is 30-35 years old. Bull Dus Must is nowhere near that age and on top ... rather unfortunate his mother remains in the group. No adult elephant cow will accept a young sub-adult or juvenile as a prospective mate. I foresee the lack of breeding continue for the future ... (@Hyak_II signalled his stunted growth and generally being a hothead while at Fresno Zoo, is another ominuous sign ... not good.

It is rather unfortunate that SD-WAP management seems and continues to rely on an immature / subadult / less than ideal bull to do the goods. Policy in NA zoos around mature bulls really needs a lot more work to mirror the conditions prevalent in the wilds and relevant social structure, bull dominance over cows at adult age and the characteristics of a fully mature bull able to successfully breed African cow elephants

Let the word go out.
