Comments / pictures

“An African elephant living at the Toronto Zoo died Saturday after another elephant knocked her over as the Herd scrambled for its hay at feeding time. Tessa, the 40-year-old elephant who lived at the zoo since its opening in 1974, lived with four other elephants in the five-acre enclosure."

"Tessa, 40, died 2009. She fell against an electric fence after being hit by another elephant during a struggle over hay. The Necropsy report indicates she died from a combination of the attempts to get her on her Feet and chronic wasting syndrome."
