SALT LAKE CITY — After leaving Utah's Hogle Zoo earlier this week, beloved elephants Christie and Zuri have arrived at their new home.Christie and Zuri join a herd of seven other African elephants that includes six females and one male, who is a genetically diverse match for Zuri, Hogle Zoo explained.
“Utah’s Hogle Zoo believes we have selected an accredited partner who meets all the goals we sought for Christie and Zuri, including excellence in animal care, a multigenerational herd, and the opportunity for offspring,” said Doug Lund, Utah’s Hogle Zoo president and CEO in a statement. “Working with the team over these many planning months has formed a bond that will continue our collaboration with African elephants and updates on Christie and Zuri’s progress.
Even though they are currently separated from the rest of the herd physically, the other elephants can already see, hear and smell the Christie and Zuri so they can all get used to each other.
