Leipzip Zoo Elephants Today

The "sawtooth" barrier that used to surround the exhibit is quite intimidating, but amazingly the scratching post's have with stood the test of time.

This is an interesting group of photographs of which I know nothing about. I assume it was during or shortly after the war, given the soldiers in the photos. It looks like a circus(possibly Krone) is taking an elephant to the Leipzig zoo. Was it a donated circus elephant or was the circus just delivering the elephant from another location?

Did St. Louis France ever have a zoo, or was there a sardine brand known as "St. Louis Sardines?"
