Jumbo
A biography of the greatest elephant ever known. Born in Africa in 1863, Jumbo was orphaned by ivory-hunters, 'rescued' and taken to France. Mistaken for a runt, he was sold to London Zoo. Drawing on modern knowledge of elephant behaviour and biology, it also looks at Jumbo from a zoologist's point of view. Why was he thought to be a runt?
