Former SFZoo Elephant Lulu Turns 57 Years Old, Oldest in North America

Lulu, one of four Elephants who lived at the Zoo, celebrated her 57th Birthday on February 10th.  She is now the oldest African Elephant in North America.  

Happy Birthday Lulu!

Lulu has been living a wonderful life at PAWS Sanctuary since 2005.  They had a celebration for Lulu's birthday, which was documented on their social platforms, and by media.  

See this link to their Instagram video from the event.


One of the news articles I liked the best...

I grew up visiting our magnificent Elephants, and feel lucky to have had them be a part of my life.  This is one of my photos of Lulu from decades ago, that's been on display in my home for a very long time.  


It's been comforting to keep up with Lulu, since her move.  Seeing photos and video of Lulu with her Elephant friends is a beautiful thing.   PAWS is a great place and I'm thankful to them for taking such great care of Lulu for over eighteen years now.
