An elephant at the Houston Zoo died this past weekend. He was 2.
Sad day. Here are some photos of Baby Mac.Mac, an Asian elephant whose birth was a cause for celebration at the Houston Zoo scarcely more than two years ago, died Sunday night after a brief battle with the elephant herpes virus, zoo officials said this morning.
"The entire zoo staff is absolutely devastated," said zoo spokesman Brian Hill. "It's difficult to put into words and describe the attachment that has developed over the past two years.
"This is a terrible loss, especially for the elephant keepers and veterinary medical staff who cared for Mac during his time with us," Hill said.
