Stephanie and Cinda have been two peas in a pod for 40 years, but the Sedgwick County Zoo needs to make room for a new friend for them. If it can’t, it risks losing the popular elephants. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums is requiring that all zoos it accredits have space for at least three elephants by September 2016.

Sedgwick County is looking into building a new elephant exhibit and breeding facility. The zoo already has two South African bush elephants — Stephanie and Cinda. Their exhibit measures 19,000 square feet. But that would expand under a plan the zoo’s board of directors will vote on in July. The plan calls for 4.75 acres of public viewing space that could hold up to six African elephant cows with calves and two bulls.

Zoo officials are concerned that the elephants, who like to stretch their trunks out for treats and grass on the other side, could los...

The elephants were apparently spooked by severe weather that moved across the state today and got out of their enclosures. They wandered into the town of WaKeeney. One ended up in a resident's backyard less than a mile from the Trego County Fairgrounds. It was blocked off by fire trucks until its trainers could coax it onto a truck. The second elephant was tranquilized in another resident's backyard, coaxed int...
