DALLAS — Jenny the lonely elephant isn’t going anywhere.
The Dallas Zoo announced Wednesday that the 10,000- pound pachyderm will remain at her home of 22 years and eventually get a new companion. Zoo officials had planned to ship Jenny to a wildlife park in Mexico after her companion died in May. African elephants become unhappy when left alone.
But activists ripped the plan, saying Jenny is nervous and fears cars, and would be miserable at the drive-through park in Mexico. Protests were held in front of the Dallas Zoo last month. Dallas Zoo officials said they have now expedited plans for a new elephant habitat, with a new companion for Jenny. The Associated Press
