In the meantime, the zoo may move another one of its species into the space currently occupied by the elephants, Larsen said. “The ultimate choice to move Christie and Zuri is to provide them both the best chance to have a calf in the important social dynamic of a multigenerational herd.”Įlephants could eventually come back to Utah’s Hogle Zoo, the news release states, as zoo officials review a master plan that evaluates what the facility must do to maintain the well-being of its animals. “We have talked to many professionals, consultants, community members and our staff as we carefully assessed what is best for all our animals, including elephants Christie and Zuri,” Hogle Zoo CEO Doug Lund said in a statement.
