Book Details
First Sentence
"he elephant destined to become the most famous animal in the world was captured as a youngster, probably in Ethiopia in 1861, sold to a Bavarian animal dealer, sold again to the menagerie at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, then exchanged for an Indian rhinoceros and shipped to London Zoo, where he arrived on 26 June 1865, half-starved, incredibly filthy, and covered with sores (Bartlett, 1900).3"
