Michal Grzes, a right-wing Polish politician is fuming mad that his local zoo spent big money to buy what he refers to as a “gay elephant.” “We didn’t pay 37 million zlotys ($11 million U.S.) for the largest elephant house in Europe to have a gay elephant live there,” Grzes said to London’s Daily Mail. The young elephant, Ninio, who is 10, has already been transferred to three other zoos in the past as a result of his aggressive behavior toward females, which stands in stark contrast to his affectionate treatment of males. But the head of the Poznan zoo maintains that it’s too early to draw any conclusions about same-sex trunk intertwining as Ninio will not reach sexual maturity until age 14 (via The Advocate).
