Tanya
African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) at
Colchester Zoo in United Kingdom

Tanya lives together with 3 other elephants at the Colchester Zoo:

1. ♀ Opal born 1982
2. ♂ Tembo born 1983
3. ♀ Zola born 1982

Tanya was born wild 1981 at Africa unspecified location.

Tanya was inseminated from the bull Tembo in Colchester, and gave birth to Kito, the first "test-tube" elephant to be born in Britain - this means he was created outside his mother's womb, but was then put inside her to continue growing. Kito was the fifth elephant in the world to have been produced as a result of AI.
