Another year has come and gone so it’s time once again to post an annual overview of the occurrences that happened in the North American population of Asian elephants to the thread.
To public knowledge, there were nine deaths, four births, and two transfers in 2020. Last year, the population had its ups with the birth of four calves (one cow and three bulls), of which three calves survived, and one of those calves was born to a 50-year-old cow, and the Oklahoma City Zoo’s announcement of Asha’s fourth pregnancy and downs with the death of Ambika, the second oldest Asian elephant in North America, and the death of two calves at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo to EEHV.
In addition, it’s time once again to post an updated census of the current population to the thread. To my knowledge, there are 229 (50.179.0) Asian elephants in North America as of January 1, 2021. Of the 229 elephants in North America, 19 (3.16.0) reside at 2 institutions in Canada and 210 (47.163.0) reside at 41 institutions in the United States. However, these numbers are not accurate as 51 (9.42.0) elephants have an uncertain status. The elephants with an uncertain status are italicized in the current population. Any information that could validate the status of these elephants is greatly appreciated.
To more regularly update the thread with the current population, the following document: North American Asian Elephant Population, will be posted every three months (January, April, July, and October).
