Lee Richardson Zoo is once again home to a pair of pachyderms. Two African elephants arrived here on Sunday from the Jacksonville (Fla.) Zoo, and Lee Richardson officials on Tuesday were prepping to release them into the outside yard for the first time. The newcomers, Missy and Kimba, replace Moki and Chana, who were sent to the Florida zoo in October for breeding after about 20 years here.

Moki and Chana, female African elephants that have been tenants of Lee Richardson Zoo since 1986, will be transferred next month to Florida's Jacksonville Zoo for breeding. Officials here had a public send-off of sorts for them Tuesday. "We'll sure miss them because they have a lot of idiosyncrasies we know and love," said Kathy Sexson, director of the Lee Richardson Zoo.
