SEATTLE (AP) - A young Asian elephant that had delighted visitors at the Woodland Park Zoo since her birth died Friday, about a week after she began showing signs of abdominal pain, zoo officials said.
Six-year-old Hansa had been given fluids and antibiotics and was being monitored after showing a decreased appetite and activity. Zoo officials were conducting a necropsy.
"She was a little princess, and she had a big old Buddha belly," Dr. Kelly Helmick, director of animal health, said at a news conference.
