A Polish politician has lashed out at Poznan zoo for acquiring a "gay elephant" that seems to enjoy the company of other males, local media reported.The elephant named as Ninio is no certainty to reproduce.
"We didn't pay 37 million zlotys for the largest elephant house in Europe to have a gay elephant live there. We were supposed to have a herd, but as Ninio prefers male friends over females how will he produce offspring?" said Councillor Michal Grzes.
But, the head of the zoo says the 10-year-old Ninio, may not be old enough to decide his "mate" just yet. Elephants reach their sexual maturity at 14.
