 A big part of what many of us knew as the greatest show on earth is being retired to the First Coast, 30 Asian elephants, many of them former circus performers, will be coming to live at White Oak Conservation in Nassau County. Most of the elephants coming are from the Ringling Brothers in Barnum and Bailey Circus. White Oak Conservation in the Yule area is building a 2500 acre habitat for the elephants. Ringling Brothers originally retired them to Polk County in 2016, when it permanently ended elephant circus acts. White Oak's Michelle Gadd says the elephants will be transported with their social groups. So once the state of the art veterinary supplies and barns are ready for them, all the hydrology that's involved for the use, they're going to have 11 different water holes available to them. White Oak hopes the first group of Ringling Brothers elephants will arrive in Yule early next year. Bill Bortsfield, WJCT News 89.9
