Taronga Zoo Sydney and its sister facility, Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, are justifiably proud of their breeding program for Asian elephants. The first one born in Australia was Luk Chai (Son) in 2009. The following year, the Sydney keepers announced the first female, Tukta (Doll). Also in 2010, Pathi Harn (Miracle) arrived in Sydney. Finally, in 2016, Sabai joined the Western Plain’s herd. The two zoos collectively manage about a dozen Asian elephants.
