Comments / pictures "I worked there when Shani the African elephant died. The Erie Zoo staff and the city itself grieved like a family. Her GI tract just shut down over the period of a week and necropsy was inconclusive. She was either 11 or 12 years old at the time of her death. She was a beautiful elephant and loved very much" //Kris Hopkins, State College
Shani only resided at the Baton Rouge Zoo for a day before her transfer to the Erie Zoo in Michigan.
