1. Very sad. I wonder how such a virus gets transmitted.

2. That’s four animals dead in a few weeks

4. That’s very sad, surely the virus came with the elephant that arrived recently.

   Do they not have quarantine measures for new animal arrivals?

   Elephants are very beautiful and intelligent creatures, the herd will be sad. Hopefully no more are affected.

5. 7 for an elephant must be like a toddler?

6. RIP Zinda
