Elephant Attacked Elephant
Appears that San Diego Zoo Safari Park's own exam has determined that it was an unknown member of its African elephant herd that fatally attacked another, Umoya, in mid-November.
Umoya was one of seven elephants brought to the Safari Park from South African in 2003. (I recently read "Zoo Story: Life in the Garden of Captives" by Thomas French, in which the story of the 11 African elephants flown out of South Africa to San Diego and Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo is featured.)
"It is not uncommon for elephants in the wild to attack or hurt each other, the spokeswoman said."
