2024: Four Asian elephants from Myanmar arrive at the Fukuoka Zoo and Botanical Garden in Fukuoka on July 30.

The 28-hour journey spanned air and land and each elephant was transported in a 3-meter-tall crate.

Handlers accompanied the animals with 90 kilograms of sugarcane for each hefty passenger on the flight from Yangon International Airport to Kita-Kyushu Airport, via Thailand. The last leg of the elephants’ 28-hour trip over air and land took place earlier that day when they arrived at Kita-Kyushu airport. Boxes of ice were placed on top of their cages to keep them cool on the drive to the zoo.

The female elephants range in age from 3 to 22 and include a mother and her daughter. The 14-year-old male is the zoo’s first since it opened in 1953.
