Photo Gallery: African Elephants at the Wild Animal Park

On February 23, 2004, a male African elephant named Vus'Musi was born at the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park. His was the first birth for the herd rescued from culling in 2003.

More births:

  • September 11, 2006, Khosi (female)
  • March 11, 2007, Punga (male)
  • September 19, 2007, Kamile (female)
  • March 13, 2009, Ingadze (male)

Sadly, a female born on November 28, 2007, passed away on February 4, 2008, despite the efforts of animal care staff to save her. Our other calves continue to thrive.
