Osh
Oakland Zoo (Oakland, CA)
Osh is an African elephant currently held at the Oakland Zoo in Oakland, CA. He was born in captivity 29 years ago. Osh is confined alone with no elephant companions, where he suffers from his facility’s lack of sufficient space and from being unable to engage in his natural behaviors.
