Description
Little Mac has lived at the Zoo since 1972, when he was four feet tall and 18 months old. The Zoo received him in trade with the city of Mysore, India, in exchange for two California sea lions.
Asian elephants are listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List which names the major challenges for conservation as habitat loss, poaching, and human-elephant conflicts. The reduction and fragmentation of elephant habitat and an expanding human population requiring increased farming often lead to these conflicts.
