I AND 'MALI' THE "WORLD'S SADDEST ELEPHANT"

 I AND 'MALI' THE "WORLD'S SADDEST ELEPHANT"



This is me (wearing a sando with Mojack printed on it) in front of an Asian elephant's enclosure inside Manila Zoo with my cousins...during our family trip to the nation's capital almost 2- decades ago.


...Vishwa Ma'ali commonly known as Mali a female Asian elephant who lived at Manila Zoo in Manila …

Born in Sri Lanka, she was given as a gift to First Lady Imelda Marcos by the Sri Lankan government in 1981 and lived at Manila Zoo.

On November 28, 2023, Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna announced that Mali had died at around 3:45 p.m. that day.

The Manila city government said it will preserve Mali's remains which would be displayed in a museum. It also considered requesting the Sri Lankan government a replacement elephant.
