TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Busch Gardens Tampa Bay announced the passing of its 54-year-old elephant on Friday.
The Asian elephant, Carina, was euthanized after her health began to rapidly decline, Busch Gardens said in a Facebook post.
“Despite the attentive care from her caretakers and expertise from our veterinary staff, the decision was made to humanely euthanize her surrounded by the people who loved her,” Busch Gardens said.
