United States Cincinnati Zoo Old Elephant House Photos

[Mai Thai]

Hello everyone!
Recently I came across an image on the Cincinnati Zoo’s Facebook page of the elephants when they were young. I was wondering if you had any images of the Herbivora Building, Vanishing Giants, or of the elephants from the past. Thanks a lot!
Here are some images I found:

And here is the picture of them when they were younger:

Here is the original elephant house. It was trashed by the zoo's original elephant, Chief. Chief was a terribly abused animal who was eventually "euthanized" (I use quotes because he had a terrible life in captivity and one must wonder whether he was really to blame for not being docile)
