MALES. They are troublesome as adults, and when in ‘musth’ can be unruly and hard to handle. The Ark facility constructed specially reinforced pens for the two bull elephants, Tommy who is 13 and Colonel who is 12 years old. Tommy recently experienced his first ‘musth’ and is fertile, we are hopeful he will be a father to a new generation of Asian elephants. Obert still lives with his mother Isa in the baby barn at the Ark.
