People upload pictures with candles, pray for her recover etc, as if she was a human relative or a person they had a close social connection to.

Happy Birthday! Pregolja in Kaliningrad Zoo is 50 years old. An older elephant with a mixed life.

This is where she was born, where she grew up, and what she is used to accept as her home.

2020-10-12 - Kaliningrad, Russian Federation.

We dont know if she will get any presents. Lets just hope, that there is a dedicated elephant keeper there, who will try to make her happier today, than usually.
