I am sorry.  I hope they will report what was wrong. I would like to think his death was quick and merciful. 

Goodbye, dear Alexander.

I was very sad to read about Alexander's death last week.  We were fortunate to see him in May last year at Mopani in the Kruger Park and I have a few lovely photos of him.  Here is one of them. He was a very gentle, very relaxed animal and is a great loss.

what a beautiful picture of Alexander, what a beautiful elephant he was ! Sad

Thank you for posting it Penny.

How sad this is. How anyone can doubt that animals have real feelings and emotions is beyond me.

I wonder how many deaths could be linked to the virus infection?

I wondered about that too.  Maybe it's a common thing?  I suppose animals pick up these things just as we do?  Was thinking about him and I'm glad it happened this way.  He was a grand ellie and he lived his life in the best place there is, and then lay down and went to sleep.
