Oh, Bunny! What a loving lady she was. When Bunny and her sisters would hide in the habitat playfully watching their caregiver drive back and forth tracking, Bunny would always be the one who let out that signature squeak, the give-away, telling the caregiver, "Hey, we're over here...hee hee!!! Her silly head shake and ear tickle, was so much a part of Bunny. She would invite the affection and show her caregivers exactly how she liked to play. And gentle—Bunny was as soft as a feather when she was affectionate. She had been loved her entire life, a precious gift for an elephant who spent her entire life in captivity. When Bunny moved from the Mesker Park Zoo, her friends, family and keepers mourned her departure but rejoiced at her good fortune. Bunny always had a playful twinkle in her eye and a huge open heart for everyone, especially her sisters. She is dearly missed.
