She then went to a wild animal park in LA county, which later closed. Because of the name and birth date, we had believed that the Babe at the Fort Worth Zoo, who came through Ringling Brothers, was our Babe. However, this indicates that the Fort Worth Babe was given that name in 1974, rather than 1967. Can anyone clarify where the Ringling Brothers/Fort Worth Babe came from?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03957389744074706738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-77403997658071810842009-03-10T13:03:00.000-04:002009-03-10T13:03:00.000-04:00Regarding elephants' names.Would an elephant have ...Regarding elephants' names.<BR/>Would an elephant have a "working name" on the show and a "legal name" for paperwork.<BR/>I would imagine changing the elephants' names would cause mucho confusion with paperwork.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-35403819850683437212009-03-10T09:43:00.000-04:002009-03-10T09:43:00.000-04:00You're right about that.
