Vintage Cincinnati Zoo--Give this man a gold watch.

Above is the female Asian elephant named Hatnee. She frequently gave rides to children while being led by her trainer, Ed Coyne.(standing on Hatnee's leg) Ed started at the zoo when he was 10 years old in 1877 and was still working there 65 years later when he died in 1942.

Incredible!!!!! Somebody was with the Cincinnati zoo longer then Ed Maruska!!!!!!
