San Antonio Zoo’s Asian elephant Nicole is scheduled to live her remaining years at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.
– San Antonio Zoo’s Asian elephant Nicole is scheduled to move this week to live her remaining years at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, according to a release from the San Antonio Zoo.The girls were together from 2016 until Karen & Lucky’s passing in 2022. The trio brought millions closer to Asian Elephants, and their caring nature, the zoo said.
“Nicole is actually used to traveling,” said Rachel Malstaff, director of mammals at the zoo. “Before joining the Golden Girls in Bahiti Waters, Nicole was part of a traveling circus. She was naturally curious and quickly comfortable when we introduced her to the transportation crate. I have no doubts that the trip will go smoothly, and this sweet elephant will feel right at home when she arrives.
The Elephant Sanctuary is the nation’s largest natural-habitat refuge, located on 3,060 acres in Hohenwald, developed specifically to provide for elephants as they age with the companionship of a herd and individualized care, according to the release.
