Olga
African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) at
Beekse Bergen Safaripark in Netherlands

Olga was born wild 1985, captured 1988 .

Olga was injured during a riot with some of the other elephants. One or two elephants pushed her down and and another elephant ran into her (the keepers don't know what precisely happened). Her injuries were so sever that she had to be euthanised.
