Sousse Friguia Zoo, zoo in Sousse, Tunisia . The last elephant left in 2024..


Comments / pictures2024: Three African forest elephants—two females and one male, aged 28 to 29 years—are soon to find a compassionate new home at Vantara, one of the world’s most esteemed wildlife rescue centres located in Jamnagar, India. Founded by Anant Mukesh Ambani, Vantara was approached by a private zoo in Tunisia that struggled to meet the elephants’ complex dietary, housing, and veterinary needs due to financial constraints. More than two decades ago, at just four years old, Achtaum, Kani, and Mina were transferred from Burkina Faso to Friguia Park, a zoo in Tunisia, where they have remained as a spectacle for visitors for nearly 23 years. All regulatory and legal compliance with national and international law, including the requirements of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), has been completed. The elephants will be transported to India via a chartered cargo aircraft.
