BREAKING In surprise announcement, HogleZoo will pause elephant care and will soon move their animals to other locations.
The zoo said it is pausing its continuous care of the animals that began over 100 years ago. With the change, the zoo's current elephants, Christie, 36, and her daughter, Zuri, 13, will be relocated together to another accredited zoo"where opportunities for them to grow their family may increase," Hogle Zoo posted to their website.
"The ultimate choice to move Christie and Zuri is to provide them both the best chance to have a calf in the important social dynamic of a multigenerational herd," the zoo said. Dari, a 55-year-old elephant, was euthanized in August 2018 after she was found lying on the ground in the exhibit. Hogle Zoo first welcomed its first elephant, Princess Alice, nearly 100 years ago and acknowledge that guests love watching the animals.
