Elephants

This is a scan from eBay

Description on rear: "The Fleishhacker Zoo, located near the Pool, has over 900 animal specimens. The animals live in a reproduction of their natural environment. This is the Elephant section."

(Fleishhacker Zoo is the same as San Francisco Zoo, named after its founder).

This picture looks like it was taken in the 1940s. The sad thing is that the exhibit didn't look all that different when the SF Zoo ended their elephant program 60 years later.

@Meaghan: Where do you find your zoo history materials? On EBay mostly? I appreciate the historical photos that you put up in the galleries.
