So sad, especially because it has been under a month since becoming a dad. At least his legacy will live on with his two new cubs.
Do they still have Chutti?
Yup! Bhotu's still getting acclimated, but I think Chutti and Bhotu would be rotated/have contact with one another through a fence. They're half-brothers funnily enough, sharing the same dad!
Yes they do, but they will not be introduced to each other.
The future of the elephant program there seems more uncertain now. But I strongly hope the Indian rhinos are housed temporarily, then they can modernize the yards and barn, bull-proof them, and house either a breeding or bachelor group of Asian elephants once indu passes.
That seems very unlikely, it seems much more likely they don't acquire any more elephants and stick with Indian rhino for that exhibit.
