Look who’s been catching some Z’s! 💤

After her long journey and a few days spent adjusting to her new surroundings, Permai has been spotted on CCTV fast asleep in her new elephant barn at Monarto Safari Park.

We’re very happy to hear she’s feeling comfortable enough to rest, munching on fresh fruits and interacting happily with her carers ❤

Moving to South Australia has been a big change for Permai and it’ll take small steps everyday before she feels at right at home.

But with the love and support of her carers and the wonderful team at Monarto, she’s slowly getting back to her normal, cheeky self.

Make sure to follow our friends at Monarto Safari Park for more updates!

Putra Mas is a-ok! 👌

We know lots of you have been wondering how he is after Permai made her journey to Monarto Safari Park. Thanks to Keeper Clair for this update 🐘🤍

Putra Mas is currently in his hormonal musth period and will be making the move to South Australia in mid-late 2025.

Did you know each kind of frog has a unique call? They use vocalisations to identify others of their species 🐸

Last week our Zoo family privately gathered to celebrate and bid farewell to a jumbo ‘colleague’, Permai🤍

As you know, female Asian Elephant Permai will be making the journey to her forever home at Monarto Safari Park this month.

There were plenty of happy memories shared and a few tears shed, but we can't wait to see her take her first steps into her new home soon.

For elephants, home is where the herd is. And we know Permai's herd is at Monarto Safari Park 🧡

If you'd like to say farewell, we recommend you get in as soon as you can!

From the archives 🥺🐘

As we prepare for Permai's jumbo journey across the Nullarbor, we've been reminiscing on so many amazing memories!

This video is a special moment between Permai and Keeper Jody from a few years ago. Look at the bond 😍

Jody is one of the keepers who will be travelling with Permai and staying in South Australia to help settle her in.

We're still working towards getting Permai to her forever home at Monarto Safari Park this month. If you'd like to say farewell, we recommend you get in as soon as you can!
