The lonely elephant moved from zoo to zoo

[rashore]

Campaigners are desperate to find a herd for an orphaned Indian elephant who has spent most of her 39 years alone in zoos.

Tania was just three years old when the rest of her herd was wiped out in 1978, and she has since been moved from zoo to zoo across Europe, isolated and showing signs of distress.

After stints in France, Spain and Italy she has been at Romania's Târgu Mureș Zoo in the city of the same name in what campaigners say has been a cramped enclosure surrounded by the sounds of building work.

Poor girl. Hope they find her some friends.

Sad story. Elephants are very social so this must have been like a solitary hell for her.

Bet she felt like the lone wolf.>>
