Lahore’s Safari Park is to receive two Sri Lankan elephants likely to arrive next month. The elephants that were purchased for Lahore Zoo are expected to arrive by the end of June, a report in the Express Tribune said.
The Sri Lankan ambassador, in an official letter, recommended that the elephants be gifted to Pakistan, the report claimed. The Sri Lankan elephants will be featured as a main attraction at Lahore Safari Park.
We have been trying to import elephants from Sri Lanka for a very long time. Finally, our relentless efforts have been successful; this will also strengthen relations between the two countries, expressed announced Punjab Wildlife and Parks Director General Khalid Ayaz.
The Sri Lankan government will soon make this long awaited dream a reality.
