Comments / pictures

At the time of her death, 49 year old Tanzy was the second oldest African elephant in North America. She had a history of aggression with the Abiliene Zoo's other elephant Tanya. Tanzy had been transferred to the zoo in Texas from Oklahoma City to tbe a companion animal for Tanya, two months before the Oklahoma City Zoo purchased half sisters Asha and Chandra from the Dickerson Park Zoo in Missouri. Tanya was kept as a single elephant after Connie was relocated to the Springfield zoo as part of a building breeding program. Two months after Tanzy's death, Tanya was transferred to the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, Texas, to replace Zoe. In October 2007, Zoe was transferred to the Kansas City Zoo under breeding loan arrangements, a Missouri zoo which held the largest Herd of African elephants within the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
