In the days before Health and Safety became the most important thing in the world.
This is Wendy, an Asian elephant who arrived at the zoo in 1967 and lived there alone untill 1986.
Bristol Zoo elected not to replace her.

Hi there
I was a keeper at Bristol Zoo for well over 10 years and spent some time looking after the Elephants.
I hope you dont mind me pointing out an error in your blogg
Your picture is of Christina the African Elephant, not Wendy the Asian Elephant.
They lived together at the Zoo for over 30+ years until Christina died.
You are correct Wendy was alone then for a few years until she died.

Whoops Sorry Malcolm.
I'm afraid one elephant looks like another and after all these years I have trouble remembering my own name!
