Maggie Walks Down to the Lake


actually this is not a pic of Maggie> it is Mara) but gives you the idea of the video version of Maggie walking toward the Lake ----------------^

Lulu, Ruby, 71, Mara and Maggie. All African Elephants at PAWS: they have Asians in another habitat
^-----------
Remember Maggie the lone elephant from the Alaskan Zoo who was flown to a animal preservation park in Northern California.
She is settled in her new home at PAWS. Go to http://www.pawsweb.org/video_updates.html to see Pat Derby, The President and Founder of PAWS narrate as the viewer watches Maggie exploring her environs this week. Maggie leaves her group for an extended walk and finds to her joy a lake. She will be ready soon to go swimming in her Lake. What a transformation from an elephant that had to be lifted from the ground by a crane becasue of a fall to the curious healthy animal she is today. Maggie is an older elephant. I forget how old but I think in her thirties. I know she spent 25 years in the Alaskan Zoo. Ruby is the oldest of the elephants at PAWS. She is in her forties. Check out the video on Ruby's 1st Anniversary at PAWS. Ruby was from the LA Zoo.
