Asian Elephant | Saint Louis Zoo
The zoo has a long history of caring for elephants, starting with Gunda in 1954. The current herd includes males Sneezy and Hank and females. Asian elephants live in family groups called herds that are led by older, experienced females.
These matriarchs are responsible for the herd's safety, as well as for providing food and shelter for its members. Females maintain a life-long connection to the herd, while males leave the herd when they reach puberty. Asian elephants are herbivores that eat a variety of plant material, including grass, leaves, branches, bark, roots, fruits, flowers, and seeds of over 100 different species of plants.
Their agile trunk plays a major role in the diverse plant options because it allows them to grasp many types of food. At the Zoo, elephants receive hay, grain, produce, and assorted browse items. Hanging hay.
