For two years, the Toronto Zoo and Toronto City Council have been trying to agree on the best way to move three senior elephants to California.
The elephants are quite old and must be treated very carefully.
Now, if all goes well, Toka, Thika and Iringa will begin their trip next month.
At first, they were to make the move by plane, but that idea was turned down in favour of driving.
Now they will go in containers on a 50-hour journey with several stops along the way for feeding and cleaning of the crates.
Veterinarians and handlers will go with them on the trip to make sure the animals are safe and not stressed.
