Citta the Elephant came to Krakow from the Terra Natura Park in Valencia, where she had spent twenty years working in the circus.
She has a penchant for munching chocolate, as well as more traditional elephantine pursuits, such as rolling in the mud. http://www.thenews.pl/1/5/Artykul/100162,K...uro-2012-oracle -------------------- “We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.”

30 photos (2004-2008) of the elephants and the exhibit on this link.
Please note that Citta (36) and Baby (52) arrived at this zoo from Benidorm in December 2006, following the deaths of females Kinga and Birma, so photos 19-30 only are relevant to this post: http://www.asianelephant.net/krakow/krakow.htm# -------------------- "They need to move and have stimulation. They need to be browsing, foraging, socialising. They need to have reason for movement." Pat Derby, PAWS, on elephants' needs.

Poland -v- Czech Republic tomorrow. Citta has "chosen" a draw - but her "predictions" so far have all been wrong. Sad gimmick. Poles will hope 'psychic' elephant is wrong again http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/06/15/2850...c-elephant.html -------------------- "They need to move and have stimulation.
