Mysterious tusker in Wilhelma

  • Media owner Benzoo

While sorting my 600 photos from my Switzerland-Germany zoo-tour in 1980, I found this photo of the rhino enclosure. To the left there is a tusker. Could it be the African female Jumbo, arrived 1955, or did Wilhelma had a male on breeding loan? I can't find any record of an Asian male in Stuttgart at that time.
See elephant database: www.elephant.se/location2.php?location_id=413&show=6
Does anyone know?
(To my surprise I found that Radza, the breeding bull at Emmen, was at Wilhelma 68-72).

I'm not a "Wilhelma"-expert, but as far as I know, Stuttgart had a female african elephant during that time you have visited this institution.
