From Mark Rosenthal



This picture was included in a National Geographic RBBB article from Mr. Rosenthal.

This elephant is "Lizzie" a rather common name among elephants and often referred to as "Wallace Lizzie" having spent considerable time with Hagenbeck-Wallace.
She was the classic "Komeriah" or first class elephant preferred by the Asians to work in the forests.
Big and bulky, "easy keeper" as my Dad would say.
The next being "Dwsala" or average and the least desirable "Meegra" (mosquito-looking), who often turn out to be the best performers in the ring with less bulk to move around.
