A new article at ShowMe Elephants regarding a partial elephant history of the Portland Zoo, including elephants later relocated to Busch Gardens Tampa and Busch Gardens Houston. There is also question of the San Jose Zoo's elephant history. If anyone has further information regarding the locations and animals questioned in the report, please leave a comment or message me in an effort to complete their records for elephant historians.

Are you referring to the Happy Hollow Zoo in San Jose California?

They had a baby African elephant in the mid-1970s (1975-1977). I know this because I just found a picture of myself standing in front of the elephant in 1976 and found this data:
Relocated elephants from Happy Hollow Zoo in United States

They may have had additional elephants, but I have no information.

Thank you, David. Is Happy Hollow Zoo "the" San Jose Zoo? Or were there two different institutions? Would you mind sharing the photo of the young elephant?
