African and Asiatic Elephant exhibit.
Too bad Gita (asian elephant) will not be able to enjoy the new Pachyderm Forest, as she died in 2006 after living all her life at the LA Zoo.
 
She was lovely; Mike Dee and Bob Barnes allowed me in with the elephant keepers and I got to go in with her, an amazing and memorable experience.

I hope the LA Zoo's problems with the Pachyderm Forest will soon come to an end and that those 'stars' and elite queens up in the Hollywood Hills can find themselves something more important to fight against; starvation in the third world for instance.
 
I'm not sure, but I believe that this is indeed Ruby.

I looked online and you're RIGHT! that IS Ruby! :DBut this was before her FIRST move, to Knoxville Zoo. She came back a year later, it's really hard to separate her from Gita. Even at PAWS, Ruby still misses Gita.:(

No doubt, I think everyone misses Gita...:(
