They got Akili from the safari. I have a picture of a young Akili at the park somewhere.Ryan Easleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171719315020164074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124946123600699497.post-86791130040368019252013-04-01T13:43:10.110-04:002013-04-01T13:43:10.110-04:00A news article documenting the arrival of the Nort...A news article documenting the arrival of the North Carolina Zoo's first elephant C'Sar in July 1978 states he was the first of five elephants purchased by the state, the four females to arrive later in the fall.
