Elephant Relocations

Post by RogerFraser »

SANParks - Addo Elephant National Park

Addo has a new inhabitant, and one, if spotted, will be immediately recognisable - with a shoulder height of 3.18m and tusks measuring an impressive 1.39m from the lip out. Meet 35-year-old Tembe, introduced into the Park on Saturday. He is the first of three bulls which will be brought to the Park as a donation from Tembe National Park in KwaZulu-Natal. The purpose: to supplement the elephant genetic diversity within the Park. We hope to get the other two into Addo before the end of the year. Many thanks to Network for Animals and Tembe Elephant Lodge for the roles they played in the operation.

One has obviously already been introduced, Ndoda Mfishane: https://www.africawild-forum.com/viewto ... 52#p468852

Information is always slightly superficial O**

I suppose in order to make them breed and not be beaten by the locals ;-)

Lisbeth, this was the assumption from the other thread.

"Tembe" is most likely a name he only got now.

I think, this bull is none of the elephants tourists can see in Tembe, but rather an unnamed bull from the northern half of the park where guests are not allowed.
