The government of Sri Lanka in 1981 presented the first lady of the Philippines, Imelda Marcos, with a small female elephant. Mali, who was 11 months old at the time, was taken to the Manila Zoo, where he stayed with another elephant, who died in 1990.
Since then, Mali remained alone in the zoo. She spent almost 30 years in solitude, inside her concrete space, which had caused concern and reactions from many animal protection organizations and activists.
Rest in Peace, Mali the Elephant ????
