Flora, the beautiful African elephant and former star of Circus Flora, was orphaned at two years old when her family was killed in a culling in Zimbabwe Africa. Her entire captive life was been spent traveling and performing with the Circus Flora troupe. Her human caregivers realized it was not good for her to be a solitary performing elephant anymore and retired her to the fantastic Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee about two years ago. The Sanctuary is the nation's largest natural-habitat refuge developed specifically to meet the needs of endangered elephants. It is a non-profit organization, licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, designed specifically for old, sick or needy elephants who have been retired from zoos and circuses.
