Apr death year, as well as arrival at Barnum from Hagenbeck 1904. This elephant had been imported by the Barnum Show in the mid 1890's, she was included in the herd that made the European tour, sold back to the Hagenbeck Zoo in April of 1921 along with Jess, Mary and "Vanita" for replenishment of the zoo's stock after WW1 and surprisingly made her fifth crossing of the Atlantic Ocean when purchased by Charlie Sparks in 1923. She is probably best remembered as the "surrogate" mother to the African "pygmies" imported by RBBB in 1936. [...] She was imported to Barnum & Bailey about 1894 and later made the 5 year European Tour with that show. After WW1 she and three more elephants were sold to the Hagenbeck Zoo to replenish their supply of animals and ironically made a fifth crossing of the Atlantic Ocean when purchased by Charlie Sparks in 1923. I have no further record of her after 1942." William Buckles Woodcock, 2008 This performance really did make John Ringling whistle, and our wonderfully trained eighteen polar bears, twelve Bengal tigers and the exotic item with fourteen zebras and camels also pleased him mightily. In due course he wrote us a handsome cheque, in addition transferring to us four elephants out of his American herd, which by steady purchasing in these years since we last met he had built up to some ninety animals.
