I love this story!
The elephants used to perform for the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The herd are retiring just south of the Florida-Georgia line in Yulee at the White Oak Conservation Center.
The dozen newly arrived elephants will have 135 acres to roam on the 17,000-acre refuge that also provides habitat for other rare species. Eventually, the elephant preserve will span 2,500 acres.
This story makes me so happy. I'm so so happy these elephants get to now live a beautiful life, they deserve it!
