Auckland Zoo’s elephant team leader Andrew Coers talks to Justin Gregory about how he communicates with Anjalee, an eight-year-old female elephant destined for Auckland Zoo (Spectrum, 31 May 2015, Radio New Zealand National). Anjalee came from an elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka and is currently having a 90-day quarantine stopover in Niue (she’s the first ever elephant on the island).
