One potential location for Guba is Budapest Zoo. They received the female "Kuba" 1st of August in 1912 from Hagenbecks.
She was one of the first elephants arriving in Hamburg-Stellingen in 1902 (before the Zoo was open for the public), and was previously kept at Hagenbecks smaller zoo at Neue Pferdemarkt, where she arrived 1893, so she may match in size, presuming she was at least 18 years in 1911.

Any suggestion as to where those elephants went?
