An Asian elephant — estimated to be around 72 years old — was euthanized at the National Zoo during the virus outbreak on Friday, according to a news release.
Ambika was assumed to be the third oldest Asian elephant in the North American population, with most of females in the breed only living to their 40s.
“Ambika truly was a giant among our conservation community,” said Steven Monfort, John and Adrienne Mars Director at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, in a statement.
“For the past five decades, Ambika served as both an ambassador and a pioneer for her species. It is not an exaggeration to say that much of what scientists know about Asian elephant biology, behavior, reproduction and ecology is thanks to Ambika’s participation in our conservation-research studies.”
