Sailors pose with elephant at the San Diego Zoo
PC-000-448
Sailors surround an elephant that is lying down in an open area in the San Diego Zoo
M. B. Libman Co., Los Angeles, California, US
The inscription on the black-and-white image on this picture postcard is "'Meet me at the Zoo'--Balboa Park, San Diego." The San Diego Zoo was founded in Balboa Park, San Diego, California, in 1916. Sailors surround an elephant as it lies on its stomach, apparently in its enclosure, since two sailors are sitting on a fence, and fencing is visible on the other (right) side. Elephants are classified in 2013 as "vulnerable" by the IUCN Red List (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
