AFFTON, Mo. (AP) – Another elephant has died at the Grant’s Farm attraction in
St. Louis County, the third elephant to die this month and the fourth since
March.The elephant named Max died Wednesday at age 15. The cause of death is not
known but Grant’s Farm says Max was “greatly impacted” by the recent deaths of
two other elephants.
A 38-year-old elephant named Toby and 34-year-old Mickey both died earlier this
month. The facility says the deaths do not appear to be related.
A fourth elephant, Bud, died in March at age 34.
Grant’s Farm calls the deaths “heartbreaking.”
Grant’s Farm was built by Ulysses S. Grant on land given to him and his wife by
his father in 1848. It is home to the Budweiser Clydesdales and other animals.
