Charley was a calf when people captured him in Zimbabwe, Africa. They took him to South Africa. He spent 16 years in a circus. Then he went to a zoo for 23 years. His elephant buddy, Landa, died in 2020. Dr. Amir Khali is a veterinarian. He and other vets gave Charley goodies like pumpkins, papaya, and beets. They used the treats to lead Charley into a container. That container rode on a truck to a reserve in South Africa. Now Charley has a new home with friends.
