Florida zoo mourns death of third-oldest Asian elephant on record

2010-03-04 - Orlando, United States.

One of the oldest Asian elephants on record has died. Mary, a 63-year-old elephant, died this week at the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens in Orlando, zoo officials said. Shonna Green, spokeswoman for the zoo, said Mary died late Tuesday of an age-related illness. She was 63 -- which is rather old for an elephant -- but no one dies of old age, so there has to be some kind of complication, Green said. A necropsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death.
