Happy New Year everyone! Here's a quick update on the Asian Elephant population for 2024 moving into 2025.
Overview
2024 was quite a year for the population this year. 6 moves took place to better the population with many transfers happening on breeding recommendations or to make room for breeding opportunities in the future. Four surviving calves have been welcomed into the population with 8 confirmed pregnancies and 4 announced for the years to come. Unfortunately, the population lost quite a few individuals this year with a total of 11 confirmed passings within the population. That being said there were quite a few calves announced/discovered from previous years which brings a net loss of 2 individuals and 3 holders of Asian elephants.
Population Update
As of today, there are approximately 205 (42.163.0) Asian elephants in North America with roughly 19 (2.17.0) at 2 facilities in Canada and 186(40.146.0) at 38 facilities in the United States. I have tried my hardest to make this an accurate list, however, there are several individuals that last year we have listed as passed but I was unable to find accurate reporting for these passings. For example, Mala, Sara, and Toby were listed as having passed in 2021 and Aussam at Polk's old Ringling location, however, I know that there were at least 4 older girls there as of October 2024 so if anyone has any information please don't hesitate to reach out to me please and thank you so that this list can be as accurate as possible. That being said, below is a list of the current population. As always, anyone whose status I am not 100 percent certain of has been italicized and colored red and I have also gone ahead and listed the facilities from smallest herd to largest. Please let me know if you see any discrepancies and I will look to get those corrected.
