- Belfast Zoo will mark the transfer of Asian elephants Dhunja and Yhetto - two of its oldest - with a week of farewell events from July 8-14.
Final preparations are now underway for the pair’s move to Burgers’ Zoo in Arnhem, Netherlands, where they will join with two other compatible elephants to create a new herd - the ideal social structure for older female elephants in their later years.
Visitors can wish Dhunja and Yhetto a happy retirement and join elephant-themed activities in the run-up to their transfer, including themed crafts, keeper talks, animal feeding times, memory postcards and a daily screening of movie The Zoo.

Bring them back
Elephants are another smart animal that shouldn't be in captivity.
Wait. They're rescuing them from here to take them to another zoo!?!? Why are they not going to an elephant sanctuary!? Zoos are animal prisons and should be illegal.
Prisons are prisons for people and should be illegal
