A Great Sorrow
Category: Elephants | Date: May 28 2008 | By: dzangaforestelephants
Many of us in the elephant world received the devastating news this week of the death of Hezy Shoshani. Hezy was killed in Addis Ababa as he returned from work at the university where he had been teaching for the last one and a half years. For Hezy elephants had been a life long obsession and he knew more about their physiology and anatomy than anyone.
He was a rare individual whose curiosity and enthusiasm were infectious and after one encounter with him, he remained at the forefront of my memory. Not only those who knew Hezy feel a tremendous loss but the elephants of the planet have lost a true ally. My sincere condolences to Sandra Shoshani, his widow.
