The UK's largest Elephant Habitat
Noah's Ark Zoo Farm is home to four African bull elephants — Shaka, Uli, Janu, and Sutton — who serve as ambassadors for their species, inspiring and educating visitors about elephant conservation. African elephants are classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and Noah's Ark plays a vital role in their preservation.
At the heart of this commitment is Elephant Eden, the largest elephant facility in the UK. This state-of-the-art, 20-acre habitat was created with the welfare and enrichment of the elephants in mind. It features a heated indoor barn, sand yards, expansive grazing fields, a swimming pool, and a large willow plantation for foraging and browsing.
The zoo’s elephant programme is part of the European breeding programme for African elephants, focusing on bull elephants, which is vital in zoo breeding initiatives.
