Trompita

Trompita is a celebrated Asian elephant residing at the National Zoo La Aurora in Guatemala City, known for her remarkable longevity, having recently celebrated her 65th birthday. Weighing over 3,500 kilograms, she has become an emblematic figure at the zoo after being rescued from a local circus in 2008. Trompita's advanced age places her in the geriatric category, necessitating specialized care that combines veterinary science with affection, including a daily diet of 250 pounds of hay, fruits, and a special concentrate. Her presence serves not only as a beloved attraction but also as a vital educational platform for wildlife conservation.
