This should be deleted per WP:NOT, as it is nothing but a news story. A redirect to Memphis Zoo would not be appropriate due to the implausible title of this article, so deletion is the only viable option.  Them From  Space  00:28, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment I speedily deleted the article as a blatant hoax, which claimed that the mother elephant had hung herself in a motel room. It had been re-created after previously being speedily deleted as a blatant hoax. This was not a story about the baby elephant dying. Edison (talk) 01:24, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
