Tokyo Friends of the Zoo

Animals and Zoos
Summer 2005 issue (No.659)

The opening article, "A Day in animal keeper," zooms in on African Bush Elephant at Tama Zoo and those in charge!
"Recollections: Ueno Zoo on those days" features a collection of posthumous writings by the late Yoshiko Sawada, who worked at Ueno Zoo from 1940 to 1982, about her memories of the zoo. The book features a commemorative photo of the elephants that were to be culled, as well as a passage describing Ueno Ueno Zoo as the war drew to a close.
