Hogle Zoo is relocating its elephants Christie and Zuri because the zoo’s climate and environment are not ideal for African elephants, which thrive in warmer regions. Additionally, breeding efforts at the zoo have been unsuccessful, and relocating the elephants to an Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) accredited facility will allow them to live in a multigenerational herd, which is better for their social and reproductive needs.

Yes, there have been instances of animals escaping from Hogle Zoo, most notably Princess Alice, an elephant who escaped multiple times in the early 1900s. These escapes were significant enough to prompt the zoo’s relocation to its current safer and more secure location in Emigration Canyon. While escapes are very rare in recent years, the zoo continues to maintain strict safety and containment measures to prevent such incidents.

Visitors are generally not permitted to bring their own food into Hogle Zoo. This policy helps ensure the safety and health of the animals by preventing exposure to potentially harmful foods and maintaining the cleanliness of the zoo. The zoo offers a variety of food and beverage options inside for guests to enjoy.

The rhinos at Hogle Zoo continue to be part of the animal collection. The zoo is actively managing its animal care programs and is making adjustments in line with its master plan focusing on animal welfare and conservation efforts. There have been no recent announcements indicating that rhinos are leaving or being relocated from the zoo.
