Anna Louise

Anna Louise was imported from the Manicaland province of Zimbabwe in 1983 by Frank Thompson of Bradenton, Florida. The young African elephant resided for several years at the Terry Lou Zoo in Scotch Plains, New Jersey before she was relocated to the Folsom Children's Zoo in Lincoln, Nebraska. From there she was purchased by Tom Demry in 1988 where she still resides today.

Jim Stockley Collection - Cleopatra

Jim Stockley of South Africa has been kind enough to share with ShowMe Elephants his collection of photographs documenting the Chipperfield Circus and family history with elephants.

The following photograph was taken in Rome in 1963 during the filming of the movie 'Cleopatra' with Elizabeth Taylor.
