World’s first male elephant to be born by artificial insemination moves to near Bristol to find female mate

The world’s first male elephant to be born by artificial insemination is packing his trunk – to find a female mate.

Sutton made history when he was born at West Midland Safari Park in May 2014. He was named after campaigner Stephen Sutton, 19, who raised £5.5 million for Teenage Cancer Trust before he died the same month.

Today (Tue) nine-year-old Sutton moved 80 miles to Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in Wraxall. It is hoped Sutton, who will live at the 20 acre site, will be encouraged to breed with female elephant Five.
