A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Peter Pan! Arrived in May 1957, euthanized in May 1969. He was 13 at the time of his death and the only male African elephant in the zoo's history.
He would have had one female African companion in which breeding may have been possible. I wonder if anything became of it?
Radar,
I don't think anything became of the "breeding." Not only is Peter Pans(Jesus!!!) companion not an elephant, I don't think it is even African. But then again, it may be a Nubian cross goat, so who knows?

Touche, Mr. Burck. Though I was referring to the female African elephant 'Widget.' She was acquired two years prior to Pan from Kenya. She died at 23 years of age in 1977 - anesthesia-related.
Keepers called him Big Bad Pete someone cut off the tip of his trunk. Goats at one time were used as companion animals for single elephants.
