Records about Laska (Alaska) from Bob Cline

LASKA
Female Asian 1950 to 1952 - Don Robinson Ameri-Congo Animal Circus
1952 - sold to Albany Georgia Zoo

Bob Cline, author of the book "Americas elephants".


She was the only elephant at the old Tift Park Zoo in Albany, Georgia for many years.

When Chehaw opened, Laska, an asian elephant that was given to Tift Park Zoo after Don Robinson Circus’s 1952 season, was walked across town to Chehaw...The elephant was walked across town by her beloved trainer W.T. Hill. She did not die shortly thereafter. She was able to live her last years in a larger, more peaceful environment than ever in her long life. Mr. Hill was instrumental in getting Chehaw Park started as he was the Director of the Tift Zoo and later Chehaw Park.
