"Pccky" Turns 50

"Packy" turns 50 on April 14, 2012. Born in 1962 he was the first Indian elephant born in captivity in over 40 years. He put the Portland, OR Zoo on the map and newsreels. I plan on attending his birthday party tomorrow as over 20,000 visitors are expected. I'll be on my scooter and arrive very early to assure a parking space and an early spot to enter the zoo. I've posted this photo before on this forum. On another forum it won me a photo of the month and the honor of photo of the year. I've sent this photo to the curator of the Portland, OR Zoo for Packy's celebration.
