The move of 5 female Asian elephants from Antwerp Zoo, and bull Hussein from Hamburg Zoo, to Planckendael, is being recorded, through the eyes of calf Kai-Mook (3), on the zoo website on this link:

From a Belgian member of a pro-zoo discussion board:

It is now exactly one month before the Asian Elephants of the Antwerp Zoo moving to their new enclosure in Planckendael. After 10 days of quarantine, the grand opening will be a fact on June 29. The bull, Hussein, wil arrive one week before the females.

On containtertraining with Kai-Mook

Translation from German by Google.

Hussein arrives on June 15th!

On 15 June the bull elephant Hussein moved into the brand new temple elephants in Planckendael ...from Tierpark Hagenbeck in Hamburg. Hussein will be impatiently waiting for "his" woman flock ZOO Antwerp, who three days later will make their entrance.

http://kaimookverhuist.be/nl/news/hussein-...-aan-op-15-juni

Other info in the update - Hussein has his own exhibit, but has access to the females and may reside with them. With his arrival, the breeding programme begins (Hussein has already fathered 14 calves), and there are hopes that Yin and Yu Yu Phyo Phyo will conceive. Dumbo is unlikely to conceive, and Kai-Mook and May-Tagu are too young.

Great loss to Hagenbeck

Hussein was so much excited, as was characteristic of him. But suddenly he put in his box on the floor. Apparently he suffered from shortness of breath.

Although the attending veterinarians and rescue responded immediately ushered, Hussein heard breathing and died within a few minutes.

2 videos posted today on Planckendael Zoo Facebook:

Sneakpreview 1: wissel van de wacht / relève de la garde

Up to and including the large public opening of the temple elephants each day on 29 June, we give you a look behind the scenes.
[Translation by Bing.]
The video is mostly about the people, but there is a brief view of the elephants in what I see as a laboratory ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETjGh8P6OFA...player_embedded


Sneakpreview 2: de verzorging van de olifanten / soigner les éléphants

In the 2nd movie check our caregivers how the health of the 5 pachyderms been made, after the move.
[Google translation]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx0a6Qn0ITc&feature=share


How can this place be described as "the new paradise" for the 5 elephants?!
So completely sterile, it more resembles a laboratory and, since the focus is on breeding, that is understandable.
The captions on the 2 videos are in French - my understanding is that the keepers have examined the elephants' mouths and checked the saliva, and have taken their temperatures. The verdict is that they are all healthy and relaxed after the transfer.

Diary of an elephant caretaker: storks - June 23, 2012

What an adventurous day in our Asian temple! This morning came all the elephants greet us cheerfully. The temperatures were fine and all looked well-rested from pachyderms. We even with May, Mookie and Dumbo training! The morning was uneventful. Because Phyo Phyo showed much interest in the outside gate, we have them here given the opportunity to explore the outside world.

We were very proud of our ladies when Phyo Phyo Dumbo together and went exploring. Mookie and followed slowly and may even Yu Yu Yin reluctantly took a few steps in the buitenperk.Dan there was laughter everywhere in our team, our sturdy trunks quickly ran inside after the clatter of some storks ... After a long and tiring day dazzled ourselves in a nice packet of fries.

Food ... elephants appear 1:26 to the end.

Sneakpreview 5: Prei vissen / pêcher des poireaux
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8RSDTwyp0Q&feature=share

Diary entry indicates that all the eles have been in the pool together for the first time, followed by sand-bathing (so I assume this is the indoor pool), and have been exploring both the indoor and outdoor areas.

Sad that it's all to prepare a captive breeding situation ...

Sneakpreview 6: op de olifantenweegschaal / tous sur la balance! - The weighing machine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrbMJdHduqU&feature=share

Elephants appear between 0:20 and 0:33

Diary entry from Jonas:
Saturday, June 23, 2012
6:10: There goes the alarm again. Unlike previous days, I find the sound of my alarm today is not as annoying as ever. I have mood to fly there directly. Yet it is been good for a day at home because my girlfriend gave me the last time too much to miss.

7:30: Back in the temple elephants, the elephants directly to us. Whether the company is good for us or for the apples that we have, I leave in the middle. Easy it is, because if we can directly record the temperatures of our animals.

8 am: ​​We will try again some elephant training. This is not as simple as we can not already set aside. The big problem is that Dumbo constant attention. Her training may be perfect, but since we want to train another elephant, they will always interfere. Oh, it's forgiven her, temporarily anyway ...

9 am: of fattening food and distribute, as usual.

10h30: It's the weekend, so time for coffee and pastries. This is a tradition dating back many years means the elephant department, then all of the elephants were in Antwerp and who are we to break that tradition.

11:30: The elephants are all on the edge of the basin. We see simply their behavior that they have a lot of sense to go into the water. Yet the fear of the unknown is still a little. Who seems the most fear, is Dumbo. It remains so little behind the other elephants hang. May suddenly fly back in first and soon followed Mookie and Yu Yu Yin. They begin to flounder, splashing and ducking each other to push. Phyo Phyo will also evolve over time and can not contain and is there also. One more to go! We begin Dumbo all together to encourage and step by step, she comes closer to the pool. At first she feels a little on the water with her ​​trunk and then its front legs and then suddenly makes them click, she managed. A historic moment for the first time all the elephants together in their new pool.

11:55: After a bath take our elephants always a sand bath, and that is no different. Within 5 minutes hang them all from head to toe full of sand.

12h: Time to eat.

12:30: Now it's what fattened and fed. There is very much in an elephant, but there is almost as much back out. In this way, we are constantly busy.

14h: The bath this morning, the elephants apparently really liked, and they decide to go there again. Doubt there is now no more and all 5 fly into the water.

14h30: The many games has taken its toll on some elephants. When they come out of the bath to Yin Yu Yu May and almost immediately settles down to a nap. We see that Mookie is exhausted, but still takes a while until they found a good place to go nap. She nestles against her sister and falls into a short but deep sleep.

17h: We do the gate outside the arena open. Phyo Phyo was already a long time to wait until they opened and now the time is up, she therefore immediately outside. She obviously knows all too well that we have spread grass everywhere. The rest follows quickly in its wake, except Yu Yu Yin. The only thing we provisionally see her, her rear. After a while they are still out, backwards. 20 times they ran all together again inside. The one time by a crane which makes a strange sound, other times by a flying stork and once even by a strange sound which I think came from a camel. Whenever they come back out, however, and each is Yu Yu Yin last, backwards. Quite a funny sight actually.

21h: After several hours inside and outside to have been, they decide that they have had enough, and they remain indoors. Time for us to close the doors and in a last feed and afmestbeurt to do.

22h: We have another long but fruitful day sitting up. Tomorrow I can sleep, because I have only afternoon start working.

Long report, Antwerp to Planckendael, with photos on this link.

KAI MOOK AND FAMILY HAVE MOVED TO PLANCKENDAEL

In any event, on the basis of the videos I saw, these elephants do now have a wonderful enclosure and especially, a very big one!!!!

http://knutisweekly.com/2012/06/kai-mook-a...o-planckendael/

Just how "very big" I have yet to find out, as zoos are not forthcoming with this sort of info ... whatever it is, I am pretty sure it won't be big enough.

Video (4:59).
Elephant head-swaying at 0:21 - the zoo would probably say this is in anticipation of receiving food.

The elephants move: look behind the scenes

On Monday, June 18 moved our five elephants from the ZOO to Planckendael, an operation that was prepared over a year. Fortunately, everything went very smoothly. View the report with exclusive behind the scenes and interviews with our caregivers.

Over a month since the Antwerp to Planckendael move:

The feed conscious moments take place every day at different hours, issue of the animals some variety in their routine business. Our five elephants have now been over a month in their new temple and they feel totally at home. They go fast in the training boxes and pedicures are progressing well. At night the elephants sleep outside and they're now also easy on the new scales.

All our elephants have already lost a few pounds since they sit in Planckendael. That's because they take a lot more movement. Moreover, the sand in the inner enclosure and the hills in the outdoor arena sure what that movement requires more effort than in the elephant house in Antwerp, where it previously was flat ..

Planckendael is totally and aggressively focused on the European captive breeding agenda ...

Translation by Google:

New elephant bull good arrived! Yesterday around 21h arrived our brand new bull elephant Chang Planckendael. He had a long and trouble-free journey sitting up from the Zoo Le Pal in France. Chang stepped smoothly to the new container inside stay ...

With the advent of Chang, we want to fully committed to breeding programs for the endangered Asian elephant. Hopefully it all fertile women (YuYuYin, Phyo Phyo and within 2 years May Tagu) fertilize and follow after 22 months (or more?) Baby elephants!

Chang was captive born in Copenhagen Zoo in 1981.
His database entry makes very sober reading.
Planckendael is his 5th zoo.
He has produced 13 offspring since 1993 (the last, in 2012 at Dompierre Le Pal Zoo, France, is still in utero), of whom 7 survive.

Google translation:

chemistry between Chang and the 5 ladies!

Monday at 10am for something if our new bull elephant Chang for the first time outside the arena of the females explore. He got some time to make, on his own, walk. The caretakers had in all corners of the arena eating clogged and there he clearly enjoyed. He sniffed here and there, did feast on all the goodies, and calmly walked around as if he lived there for years.
