Hugo once told me that during the War he would take the Hagenbeck Zoo elephants under a nearby stone bridge during the Allied Air Raids.

This ivory shows the elephant

to be a Cyclotis or Forest

subspecies which are smaller

than their Savanna cousins

They are usually darker in

color & have rounded ears
