† Meena is a dead Female ♀ Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), , who died at Dudley Zoo, in United Kingdom, .
Meena was born unknown .
2007:Over 50 years ago, this story concerning a she elephant at the Dehiwala Zoological Gardens was published in the local press. Meena was a very docile animal and her keepers had no problem looking after her. But one day, she started to behave in an unusual manner. She strained at her fetters in obvious excitement as if trying to free herself. The crowds of visitors gave her wide berth, thinking that something unforeseen had befallen the poor beast. Meena behaved in this manner for over 36 hours. Not heeding the unruly behaviour of the elephant, the zoo staff took her along to a wharf at the Colombo harbour. There she was restless than ever. She heaved and tugged and trumpeted in apparent emotional uneasiness. At length she broke free from her chains and fled headlong through the busy thoroughfares. Once on the Galle Road, Meena did not stop until she reached the zoo gates. There the keepers found her browsing unconcernedly in a patch of shrubbery. Not long afterwards, Meena was shipped to the Dudley Zoo as was originally planned and there she lived happily ever after. Mysteries behind animal prophesy
