Nothing is wrong with Happy.

Happy, one of the two Asian elephants at the Bronx Zoo is fine and doing well. Both Happy and Patty are in their early 50’s and, as we routinely report, in good health. Both elephants are given the choice and option of where they want to spend their day.  Happy has been choosing to not go out into the area visible from the monorail, so Patty is the elephant recently seen by guests. Happy is given the opportunity each day to use the exhibit area and when she chooses to do so will once again be seen by visitors. Until then she is hanging back in other indoor/outdoor areas around the people who care for her, opting for their company (and more frequent contact and treats) over the exhibit area.
