EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the heartwarming moment of a newly arrived baby Pygmy Forest Elephant named Tiny, surrounded by her devoted keepers at London Zoo in October 1922. The image, taken by Frederick William Bond, showcases the deep bond between these majestic creatures and their caretakers. Tiny's arrival at the zoo on that fateful day marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Captain E. A. Cunningham brought her to London Zoo, where she would stay until November 24th of the same year before being sold to the New York Zoo under Captain Cunningham's care. The three dedicated keepers - Robertson, Stimpson, and Milbourn - can be seen standing proudly beside Tiny as they ensure her well-being and safety. Their commitment to nurturing this young pygmy forest elephant is evident in their attentive gazes and gentle demeanor. Tragically, Tiny's story took a somber turn when she passed away on March 2nd, 1933. However, this photograph immortalizes her innocence and beauty forever. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of nature's wonders. It serves as a poignant tribute not only to Tiny but also to all those who dedicate their lives to protecting these magnificent creatures for generations to come.
