Burma (born October 1982) is an Asian elephant at Monarto Safari Park in South Australia.
The zoo announced in 2020 that they would end their elephant programme and sent Burma to South Australia in 2024.
[3] She initially exhibited "teenage high jinks" with which Kashin, the other elephant in the enclosure, was reported to be impatient.
Hindi was chosen over English in order to prevent her from unintentionally carrying out potentially dangerous commands.
[5] In January 2004, Burma escaped the zoo after dropping a log in her enclosure onto an electric fence, which turned it off.
She then went into a moat and "crashed through" the gate of the enclosure's outer fence, allowing her to wander around Western Springs Reserve.
[8] Elephants are social animals that require company, so in 2011 the zoo put a horse, named Cherry, in Burma's enclosure due to concerns about her psychological health.
