The Elephant Sanctuary | Osh Arrives at The Elephant Sanctuary

The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee is excited to announce the safe arrival of African male elephant Osh on October 18, becoming the 34th resident and The Sanctuary’s second permanent African male elephant. Osh made the journey from Oakland, California, to Hohenwald, Tennessee, accompanied by dedicated zoo staff and veterinarian. His arrival went smoothly, and he quickly settled into his new barn, exploring his surroundings. He munched on large pumpkins, banana leaves, and plenty of local browse while drinking lots of fresh water. Just hours after arriving, Osh ventured into his habitat, sampling the vegetation Tennessee has to offer and began pushing against trees. Artie even made an appearance, watching with apparent curiosity from across the transition yard as Osh explored his new environment. Artie and Osh will continue to have visual, auditory, and olfactory communication through protected fencing until Osh has had time to acclimate.
