Came to USA with the ship Mary to the harbour in Philadelphia.

The ship Mary from Calcutta, landed in Philadelphia in June, 1830, carrying a twenty-three year old female elephant and an eightmonth old calf. They were exhibited as a pair in 1830 and then, joined by some other animals, Species unknown, formed the Elephant Caravan in 1831. Several menageries in that period had Adult and calf elephants which were invariably advertised as “the largest and smallest ever exhibited.” The 1832 notices also shed no light on what the accompanying animals might be. That winter the calf was transferred to Raymond & Ogden (26) and was given the name Hyder Ali. The female, identified only as Great Indian Elephant during 1833, had at least a young African lion and its keeper for company.
This female elephant went to Hopkins & Co. for the 1834 season (12).

Raymond & Ogden’s 1832 collection was almost unchanged from the season before. The rhinoceros was still the feature attraction. They gained a tiger, a puma, an adjutant stork and something they called “loup cervier.” These same animals served in 1833, with the addition of a two-year old elephant named Hyder Ali.

Imported in December, 1832, Hyder Ali had spent 1833 and 1834 on the Raymond and Ogden menagerie. Of Hyder Ali, the calf, there is no record after 1837, which may mean he was renamed Tippoo Saib. cite>http://www.circushistory.org/Thayer/Thayer2d.htm

In 1835, all US menagerie became part of The Zoological Institute.
