Oldest living representative of the species.

Yep, the press initially referred to the cub as male and ZSL only announced her true sex some months later. She died pretty young- her mate 'Ulla' and both( I think) her parents 'Ivy' & 'Mishka' outlived her.

However, I don't remember 'Jumbo' the elephant...
