Contradictory records:

The Research of Bob Cline states Koko arrived at the Buffalo Zoo in 1939, though the North American Regional Studbook for the Asian Elephant states the arrival in 1943. Mr. Cline also lists a death date of April 1954, whereas the Studbook states July 1952. However, the Studbook lists no history for this elephant other than her residence at the Buffalo Zoo.
