Dulary is gone.

Dulary is now living at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. She is the only elephant there who was removed from a loving, caring environment and arrived in excellent health. (Yes, even her feet.)

Dulary had friends at the Philadelphia Zoo. For most of her life she was a member of a wonderfully unique "herd" of two African and two Asian elephants. Then, two died, leaving Dulary and Petal. One African, one Asian. Their's was a very special, unique bond that could never have happened in nature.

But then the zoo brought in two, playful younger African elephants, and one day, a pushing and shoving match between one of them and Dulary resulted in a cut above Dulary's eye. Dulary had to be separated from the other elephants until her injury healed, and during that time, she became very "spoiled" by all the human attention she was receiving. She chose to remain special and not to rejoin the herd.

Finally, the decision was made to close the elephant exhibit and send all the elephants away. Now Dulary is at the sanctuary, and soon the African elephants will be moved to the Pittsburgh Zoo's International Conservation Center.
