Say hello to Rupa. She was born in Savala, India, in 1975. Previously, she's lived at the Basel and Copenhagen Zoos. The Zoo's other elephant, Radja, was born in 1968, also in Savala. It seems he developed a bit of temper as a young circus star and was put out to pasture in early 1970 and has been living the zoo life ever since.

...not much more than shallow concrete pool. As the zoo's patriarch (here since 1935!) he deserves better!
We were overjoyed when we heard from Guna that the Zoo's oldest inhabitant, and perhaps the oldest alligator in captivity, had moved to a brand new exhibit in the Tropical House! And, yes, you do use all the s's and p's: alligator mississippiensis
