The zoo appears to currently house 5 elephants - 2 females (aged 5 and 8) and a bull (5) rented from the royal kraal at Ayutthaya, and 2 unaged females. http://www.elephant.se/location2.php?location_id=563&show=1 Video uploaded 21 April 2011: Elephant show, Dusit Zoo, Bangkok, Thailand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScDg3KliFRk Video uploaded 21 April 2011: Elephant show, Dusit Zoo, Bangkok, Thailand II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0H2H-G8vvc Video uploaded 20 March 2011 - elephants in an outdoor pen: Canon EOS 7D Video: Dusit Zoo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj20d-2KXzU -------------------- "They need to move and have stimulation. They need to be browsing, foraging, socialising. They need to have reason for movement." Pat Derby, PAWS, on elephants' needs.
