Japan has the world's oldest: ELEPHANT!

One person guessed ostrich, one guessed panda, and one guessed monkey. But, the answer is elephant. The world's oldest elephant is in the zoo in Ueno park. I can always remember the Japanese for elephant because it is spelled like zoo but pronounced zoh. I have not been to this zoo and probably will not go see the world's oldest elephant even though I could very easily. Because, I'm not a big fan of zoo's, the animals are always too caged up and I have heard that Ueno Zoo is especially bad. However, if you come to visit me in Japan and request to see the world's oldest elephant I will take you. I welcome any visitors!
