Turna is a science journalist. She writes about how genomics is changing medicine. She was born in Calcutta, India and grew up in the US.<\/p>\n

Tim was a medic in the United States Navy. As is often the case (um… not really!<\/em>), he leveraged that into studying philosophy. He is on track to complete his Ph.D. in philosophy soon.<\/p>\n

She was found orphaned at a very young age, with no other elephants around. Unfortunately at the time there was no facility in Sri Lanka that had the resources to be able to care for her. It was through the Colombo Zoo that the Edmonton Valley Zoo<\/a> became aware that Lucy needed a home.\r\n\r\nLucy arrived at the Edmonton Valley Zoo on May 19, 1977. When Lucy arrived at the Edmonton Valley Zoo her age was not known. By looking at how developed she was it was estimated that she was about two years old. Since we have no record of her birth date, we celebrate her birthday on Canada Day. On July 1st, 2013 Lucy celebrated her 38th birthday!\r\n\u00a0\r\n[box]At any given time, Lucy's weight fluctuates between 8400-8500 lbs.<\/strong>[\/box]\r\n\r\n[box]Some of Lucy's favorite activities are painting, hide and seek and playing soccer.<\/strong>[\/box]\r\n\r\n[box]Lucy's artwork is available for sale at http:\/\/buildingourzoo.com\/support-the-zoo\/elephant-art\/<\/a>.<\/strong>[\/box]\r\n\r\n[box]To prevent foot infection, Lucy\u2019s zookeepers inspect her feet regularly for foreign objects and they are conditioned twice a day with apple cider vinegar (for disinfecting) and epsom salts (for nourishment).<\/strong>[\/box]\r\n\r\n[box]Lucy was very, VERY interested in Miguelito's Little Green Car.
