Have you herd the news?
Big changes are a foot as we plan to farewell our two beloved Elephant girls and welcome Hari the Greater One-horned Rhinoceros to Taronga Zoo Sydney 🐘 🦏
Asian Elephants Tang Mo and Pak Boon are set to depart the zoo in mid-2025 and will move to a new home at Monarto Safari Park in South Australia, where they will join a larger social herd in a new, open-range habitat, joining three other elephants from Perth Zoo and Auckland Zoo.
As part of a Great Migration, the elephants’ departure will welcome Hari, a two-year-old Greater One-horned Rhino from Taronga Western Plains Zoo, who will be making himself at home, in a new, multi-species habitat with Water Buffalo 🐃
Taronga’s journey with elephants is far from over and we will continue to play an important role in conservation programs across Asia and of course in the regional breeding program with seven elephants in the thriving, multi-generational herd at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo.
Over the coming year, we has big plans to celebrate Pak Boon and Tang Mo and ensure the community can say their farewells and to thank the dedicated Elephant Keepers who have cared for them for almost two decades 💕
