Elephant captive breeding in Australasian Region

There are many elephants which lived in Australia, not listed here because they did not have an ASMP number. The first known Asian elephants in Australia was Tommy and Sarah (Jenny Lind) , imported 1851 from Dacca, India.

The breeding of elephants in Australasian Region is supervised by the Australasian Species Management Program (ASMP) and care and management by Guidelines for Management of Elephants in Australasian Zoos. Both are within the (ARAZPA).

The import of elephants from Thailand in 2006 has so far resulted in 5 succesful births of Asian elephants, the first one was the male elephant Luk Chai born 2009, the second the female elephant Mali, born 2010, and the third was the male elephant Pathi Harn, born 2010.

The recently born elephants, without valid ASPM number, are listed with assumed number followed by a question mark.
