St. Louis Zoo officials say the female Asian elephant at the St. Louis Zoo died shortly after her herd became agitated from a small dog running loose. Rani died Friday, Oct. 13, 2023, at age 27. – A female Asian elephant at the St. Louis Zoo died shortly after her herd became agitated from a small dog running loose, zoo officials said.“We are absolutely devastated.
Rani was already inside the barn, eating, and didn't see the dog. But members of the elephant care team “observed Rani become agitated in reaction to the vocalizations from the herd. They saw Rani circle and vocalize, all within a very brief period, before collapsing,” the zoo release said. Initial necropsy results showed some preexisting changes in Rani’s heart, but further tests are being conducted and zoo pathologists don’t yet know if those changes played a role in her death.
