59-year-old Asian elephant cow Minnie died recently as mentioned in the population thread.

she was in a different habitat. They can’t integrate with the other cows as of yet. They came from Hawthorne which was rampant with TB and a long list of USDA violations. That will change I think now there are 3 living in that habitat.

I forgot about Gypsy at PAWS. But it’s the egos there that is keeping her there instead of letting her move to TES to be with her original herd.

The Gypsy situation is especially sad because she's been alone since 2015. And it's well-documented that she was closely bonded with Debbie and Ronnie, who still live at TES.

Yes, it is. Gypsy even had a son of her own. If I remember right, they called him Brat but he is probably named something else now. He was sent to Mexico. It would be a wise decision to send her to TES and focus on the Africans and the bulls there. They have only 3 Africans now.
