Comments / pictures

Tembo and Renee were purchased together by the Toledo Zoo from the International Animal Exchange in June 1982, both imported a month prior from Zimbabwe.


The zoo received her at the same time as Renee. She had digestive issues from the very beginning and died when she was seven years old from a twisted gut. Her Skeleton went to the mammoth site out west for comparison studies and other parts went for Research. She was smaller than Renee and had other health issues related to her digestive problems.
