An elephant named Mundi is finally getting her happy ending.
Born in Zimbabwe, this African savannah elephant was left orphaned by a government-organized mass culling in the 80s.
Mundi was sold and relocated to the Mayaguez Zoo in Puerto Rico.
She spent 35 years living alone, as there were no other elephants on the premises.
Elephant Aid International started making plans to welcome her at their Elephant Refuge North America in Attapulgus, Georgia.
Although a contract was signed, the ousting of the governor in 2019 led to the project being canceled.
Still concerned for Mundi’s wellbeing, Elephant Aid International pushed for the rescue of the elephant.
The organization received no response for a few years.
With that, Mundi was cleared for take off.
Mundi’s new home is a huge improvement.
As for Buckley, she is excited to have Mundi join the refuge and lead a peaceful life.
