2 photos (2006) of SHIBA by Gerald Postma. The second photo shows a chain round her right fore-ankle.

Google translates into English.
EleWiki: Shiba For some years lived Shiba and Carla, along with the newcomers so Djomba and Sabi. After a fracture of Djomba this was euthanized in March 2012. Shiba followed it in July 2012 to his death. An immediate cause of death is not known, the day she was seen with Carla and Sabi on the grounds, feeding on hay. With her death from the original group, only Carla Beekse mountains, which shares with the Sabi and occasionally Calimero rebuilt in 2012, now bull secure outdoor area. Shiba was very easy to see in their large indentation on the right ear. http://elefanten.wikia.com/wiki/Shiba -------------------- "They need to move and have stimulation.
