Elephant
I could also pump out the elephants pretty easily too. Also because this is a short list if I can find their obituaries I'll include the links. I also found this cool article some of you might enjoy.

Tantor’s Family Tree
Tantor (M)
Born: 1969, Mozambique (WILD)
Transfer: 1974, Fred Zeehandelaar Inc
30 Jul 1974, Toronto Zoo
Died: 2 Aug 1989, Toronto Zoo
Offspring:
Thika (F)
Tumpe (F)
Toronto (M)
T.W. (F)
Fun Fact: The whole elephant program ground to a halt when he died during an operation on his tusk. For some reason I will never understand the zoo did not get a new bull. They had so many breeding age females (3 of whom were proven) it seems silly to have just given up so easily. All that genetic potential that the North American population could desperately use just wasted.
Thika (F)
Born: 18 Oct 1980, Toronto Zoo
Father: Tantor
Mother: Tequilla
Transfer: 17 Oct 2013, PAWS
Fun Fact: She was the zoo’s first calf and the first African elephant born in Canada. The zoo had been working really hard on AI with her her in the late 1990’s and very early 2000’s. Sadly nothing worked thus ensuring none of the herd’s genetics would live on.

Born: 25 Aug 1983, Toronto Zoo
Father: Tantor
