Katherine Perlman believes the Detroit Zoo needs elephants and on Saturday she did her part to bring back pachyderms by drawing and painting a picture of an elephant on a ceramic tile. "I was very upset when the elephants left," the 9-year-old West Bloomfield youth said, referring to the elephants that left the zoo for a bigger home at a California sanctuary in 2004. "I like elephants. They are big."

Former Detroit Zoo elephants Wanda and Winky are making a good adjustment to their new home at an animal refuge in California, an official there says. "They've integrated very well with the rest of the elephants," said Pat Derby, founder of the Ark 2000 elephant sanctuary. Reports say that Wanda spent one night last week sleeping in dewy grass. Winky will swallow her medicine only if it is wrapped in French sourdough bread, while Wanda gets hers in Fig Newtons.

The Detroit Zoo's aging elephants left Tuesday morning for the Performing Animal Welfare Society sanctuary near Sacramento, Calif. The 2,300-mile trek in a retrofitted moving van will take 52 hours, the Detroit Free Press reported on its Web site. Wanda, 46, and Winky, 51, have been on a new, more aggressive regimen of anti-inflammatory drugs for two weeks. Wanda, whose arthritis is more severe than Winky's, will be able to take weight off her hindquarters by sitting on custom-made barriers.

The Detroit Zoo's two aging, arthritic elephants are surviving a typically harsh Michigan winter, but it is taking its toll. "Every winter we have more problems, which is why we wanted to move them out of Michigan in the first place," said Ann Duncan, the zoo's chief veterinarian. "They have both developed new foot problems in the last few weeks."

Like any patient, Wanda needs positive reinforcement to wrestle through her physical therapy. At 46, time and a few extra pounds have taken their toll on this Royal Oak resident's bones, and her eyes roam to the treats the needed incentive to overcome the pain during her workout. "Leg up," says Mary Wulff, who guides Wanda through the routines. "Good girl!"
