In this photo taken Thursday, April 9, 2015, Chai, an Asian elephant, stands in her enclosure at the Woodland Park Zoo, in Seattle. Elephants, one of the most popular animals at American zoos, could become very hard to find over the next few decades as aging pachyderms die and the rest congregate in the handful of zoos capable of caring for the large animals. Facilities like Seattle’s have already made the difficult and controversial decision to move their elephants to another zoo so they can join a larger herd. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)
