Elephant Eden is home to 5 African Bull Elephants

Elephanteden (10)

Janu 

Born July 2005, Janu moved to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm in 2014 from Port Lympne in Kent and was born at Howletts in Kent. Janu is the largest bull at present and easily recognisable as he only has one short tusk.
"Janu is very independent and confident, he loves staying outside day and night most of the year" - Tom Lindley (Head Elephant Keeper)
Uli - African Elephant

Uli 

Born January 2011, he moved to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm from Magdeburg Zoo, born at Wuppertal Zoo both in Germany. He is also the newest elephant to the programme.
"Uli has settled in really nicely. He is very good with training and enjoys keeper interaction." - Tom Lindley (Head Elephant Keeper)
Sutton African Elephant

Sutton

Born May 2014, Sutton moved to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm in 2023 from West Midlands Safari Park. Sutton was the first successful calf to be born through artificial insemination from a wild bull elephant. He is the youngest and smallest bull and it easily recognisable by his two small tusks along with his playful and boisterous personality.
"Sutton is a really feisty bull, loves pushing boundaries and being cheeky." - Tom Lindley (Head Elephant Keeper)

Mchumba 

Born in January 2011, Mchumba arrived at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in 2026 from Howletts Wild Animal Park. He can be recognised by his very wrinkly face and the distinctive semi-circle notch at the bottom of his left ear.

Mchumba is a friendly and characterful elephant who enjoys his training sessions with the keepers and is often quite vocal.

He also loves spending time in the pool, swimming and splashing around in the mud wallows.

Impi 

Born in 2011, Impi arrived at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in 2026 from Howletts Wild Animal Park. He is known for his very smooth skin and sweet nature. While Impi enjoys having his own space, he also likes playing and socialising with the other elephants.

One of Impi’s favourite treats is watermelon!

Impi is also Janu’s brother, making their living arrangement particularly special, as it is fairly rare for brothers to share bull elephant facilities.
