Trunk calls at LA Zoo

The Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens, one of the best of its genre in the US, has a new ‘Elephants of Asia’ exhibition.

The facility, which features bathing pools, a waterfall, river sand, sandy hills and varied topography, is home to Billy, a 25-year-old male Asian elephant, and two female Asian elephants from the San Diego Zoo: Tina, 30 some years old, and Jewel, 40-something. The exhibit will familiarize guests with the challenges Asian elephants face in the wild.
