Ending an elephant era at Perth Zoo

Raise your trunks to Perth Zoo’s elephant era. We’re getting ready to close a chapter that’s over 127 years long. In November, we’ll farewell our last remaining Asian Elephant, Putra Mas as he heads to his new home just next door in South Australia. With his departure, Perth Zoo will no longer be home to elephants. The decision to move out of caring for elephants was difficult, but we proudly stand by it. We’ve evolved into a modern conservation organisation, with animal welfare underpinning everything we do. As an inner-city site, we know we don’t have the space needed to appropriately care for a full herd of elephants. In 2018 we announced that elephants would move on from Perth Zoo following the passing of matriarch Tricia. In 2022, our grand old dame passed away at 65 years old, leaving Permai and Putra Mas behind. Her passing set our new chapter in motion. And now it’s time to raise our trunks and say farewell to Perth Zoo’s elephant era.
