Cole Bros. 1943 #11

Zack Terrell was a great friend of the Robinson Family,
to the extent that they gave him their last elephant "Petite"
in 1943.
Unfortunately it turned out to be her last season.

102 years old! Buckles, are there circus elephants that have been older? Thanks

Pitt was imported by the John Robinson Circus in 1900 making her near 50 at the time of death.
60 is an old elephant.
