Cameron Park Zoo (Waco, TX)

Tembo is an African elephant currently held at the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, TX. She was born in the wild 46 years ago. Tembo is confined alone with no elephant companions, suffering from her facility’s lack of sufficient space and from being unable to engage in her natural behaviors.
