The Metropolitan Toronto Zoo regretfully announces the death of "Tantor" the male elephant. Tantor, a 21-year old African African Bush Elephant, has resided resided at the Zoo since July of 1974. Bom in Mozambique East Africa, Tantor was orphaned orphaned at an early age, rescued rescued by Government Forces, and sent to an animal dealer in Germany. From there, he was purchased for the soon to open Metropolitan Toronto Toronto Zoo. During his years at the Zoo, Tantor sired four calves including "Thika," the first elephant bom in Canada. The exact cause of death will not be known until a complete post mortem and tests are completed at the University of Guelph. It is suspected that the death was a result of complications following surgery to remove a badly abscessed left tusk. The tusk was removed by a surgical team from the Zoo, The University of Guelph, and two elephant dental specialists specialists from Florida, who were brought in to assist in the difficult, but necessary, procedure. The surgery took several hours, ana Tantor recovered in an apparently normal manner. After approximately approximately four hours, he lay down and died. Tantor was the largest animal in Canada, standing at 11 feet 2 inches at the shoulder, and weighing 14,300 pounds. The Zoo is left with 8 female elephants, and will seek a suitable male replacement, so that the breeding program for these seriously threatened animals can continue. At the Board of Management Management meeting held at the Zoo August 2nd, Board Chairman John F. T. Warren Warren passed on thanks to the staff and outside experts for all their efforts. He commented commented that "The Zoo, with over 4000 animals, is like a small town, with births arid deaths occurring daily, but it is always difficult when an animal of such high profile profile is lost. We must, however, however, remember that there must be death if we are to have life, and that Tantor's time with us will not soon be forgotten. Most importantly, for the long term survival of the species his genes are still alive to be carried on in his daughters." The Bowmanville Zoo, if you haven't been there yet this summer, might be a great place to go to spend a few hours. There are over 300 animals (including the many ducks, roosters and other birds on the grounds) for you to'admire and some will even let you feed them. This little monkey was trying to catch caramel corn from one of the visitors recently.
