A new 16-year-old African elephant named Titan arrived at Zoo Atlanta this week from Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas.
The 8,200-pound male was born in the south African nation of Eswatini and was originally moved to the U.S. in 2016 as part of a multiorganizational effort to rescue wild elephants affected by life-threatening drought conditions. As a juvenile in Kansas, Titan spent his time in a herd of elephants, learning important social skills.
