This photo is of the original Elephant padock that Wendy used to share with an African elephant & I know that she spent the last few years of her life in the padock where the Giraffes used to be, but does anyone know when Bristol Zoo moved Wendy into her new enclosure? Also I read somewhere that the Zoo used to exercise her with walks around the grounds, did this practice continue upto her death or did it stop once she was fully grown?

Wendy was moved over when the Gorilla Island was constructed, so if you find out when work started on that, it would have been shortly before.
Wendy was definately still walked out in the Zoo as an adult- and after Christina had died, but not sure if she was in her last years. When Wendy and Christina were young they were taken outside the zoo and onto the Downs too.
