Queenie, an Indian elephant was transported to Melbourne Zoo in Australia 1902 when she was six. Queenie gave rides to children when she was 9 and soon became a popular attraction. Queenie would give ride 6 days a week except Mondays.
Children would queue for hours to ride on Queenie. Children would also leave apples and peanuts for Queenie to eat. But one time some boy suck pins into Queenie’s truck. Queenie just went to her dirty water bucket and went up to he boy and sprayed it all over them, leaving them all wet.
Each year the children and keepers at Melbourne zoo would celebrate Queenie’s birthday.
After a while the zoo got a carousel and lots of children went on the new attraction as well as Queenie. Some children thought that Queenie was jealous of the carousel because the children went on that instead of Queenie so they sent Queenie letters to tell her that they still loved her.
One time in 1944 Queenie’s keeper, Wilfred Lawson took her back to her enclosure when he saw something on the ground and went to pick it up but Queenie accidentally walked on top of him and Wilfred Lawson died. It was then said that Queenie wasn’t allowed to give anymore rides even though the children loved him.
A couple years later war broke out and Queenie got less food each day and started to starve. After a while Queenie the Elephant was destroyed.
