Navann will be moving to his bigger shelter soon.

We are building the large chain free shelter for our male elephants to provide them more spaces. FaaMai’s family group will take over Navaan’s shelter, and their old shelter will be taken out to increase day area for the rambunctious youngsters. If you are worried and wondering why we separate Navann and other male elephants from their family. Though, we don’t !!  but Navaan was pushed out of his matriarchal herd when he reached sexual maturity which is normal for male elephants. Male elephants are solitary in nature but may associate with other bulls (adult males) in small group.

 

So, we are now building the bigger area where Navann can roam freely, enjoy swimming in the pool and rolling around in the mud. He will be moving in very soon, may be as soon as in the next 3 weeks. We also making spaces next to Navann’s shelter for the other male elephants. There will be 4 more shelters to complete yet and we hope to complete them all before the rains arrive. If anyone wants to help out with the building costs for free roaming boys, please feel free to support us.
