Park notes first anniversary of elephants’ arrival

“San Diego Wild Animal Park officials and the eight-member herd of African elephants that live there celebrated two anniversaries last week. Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of the herd’s predawn arrival at the park, after having traveled by air for a day and a half from a Swaziland game reserve. The delivery was the first time in 20 years that wild African elephants had been imported to the United States.” – North County Times
