Curator of Large Mammals at the Denver Zoo, Maura Davis, spoke to Elevating Denver about the care given to the mile-high city’s pachyderms. Toyota Elephant Passage at Denver Zoo is home to five male Asian elephants that have formed a loose bachelor herd. The boys club consists of Groucho, Billy, Bodhi, Chuck and Jake. The boys look to 52 year old Groucho to learn how to be a male elephant. The personalities of the elephants range from playful youth, to serious adult, but all serve to elevate understanding of this magnificent species. The zoo staff studies the social development and herd behaviors of males, and exchanges that information with other zoos round the world conducting similar research. Witness first hand the medical care involved in protecting these mammals. Plasma draws help combat infections, and keep the herd here at home, and across the country, healthy. Take a look behind the scenes of the Denver Zoo with Elevating Denver.
