† Sally is a dead Female ♀ Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), , who died at Edinburgh Zoo, in United Kingdom, .
Sally was born wild .
"My family and I emigrated to America when I was eight, but until then I went so many times and became friendly with the staff. When I was five my little sister was born and I remember telling all the staff about it. It was 1950 and I was so excited. My parents named her after my favourite Sally doll and when I told the zoo they said they liked the name and decided to name the new elephant that. I was delighted. "I still tease Sally to this day that an elephant was named after her, and all the family laugh about it. I moved back to Edinburgh in 1966 while Sally stayed in America, and every time she came back we would go to Edinburgh Zoo. Her children and our grandchildren have all met Sally, and the naming is in the family story now." //Hazel Kelly, from Corstorphine
