Who gave a home to elephant Sheila?
During World War II a number of animals at the Bellevue Zoo in Belfast were killed because the government feared that if the zoo were hit by a bomb that the animals would be dangerous to the population.
The elephant Shelia, however, escaped this fate, and lived in the backyard of a house near the zoo.
The zoo is now trying to find out who the people were that took care of Shelia.
