Our Elephants
Elephant Eden is home to 4 African Bull Elephants
Shaka
Born October 1991, Shaka moved to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm in 2018 from Vienna Zoo in Austria. Shaka can be easily recognised as he has the biggest tusks of the group, he is also the oldest bull. Due to his age and experience he is the dominant male in the group - meaning the younger bulls learn crucial social skills from him.
"He is lovely to work with, he is also very consistent with his training and loves spending time with Janu" - Tom Lindley (Head Elephant Keeper)
Janu
Born July 2005, Janu moved to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm in 2014 from Port Lympne in Kent and was born at Howletts in Kent. Janu is the largest bull at present and easily recognisable as he only has one short tusk.
"Janu is very independent and confident, he loves staying outside day and night most of the year" - Tom Lindley (Head Elephant Keeper)
Uli
Born January 2011, he moved to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm from Magdeburg Zoo, born at Wuppertal Zoo both in Germany. He is also the newest elephant to the programme.
"Uli has settled in really nicely. He is very good with training and enjoys keeper interaction." - Tom Lindley (Head Elephant Keeper)
Sutton
Born May 2014, Sutton moved to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm in 2023 from West Midlands Safari Park. Sutton was the first successful calf to be be born through artificial insemination from a wild bull elephant. He is the youngest and smallest bull and it easily recognisable by his two small tusks along with his playful and boisterous personality.
"Sutton is a really feisty bull, loves pushing boundaries and being cheeky." - Tom Lindley (Head Elephant Keeper)
