The Tama Zoological Park (多摩動物公園, Tama Dōbutsukōen; Tama Zoo for short) is a zoo, owned by the government of Tokyo Metropolis, and located in Hino, Tokyo, Japan. The Tama Zoo was opened on May 5, 1958, originally as a branch (分園; satellite facility) of the Ueno Zoo. The zoo aims to use its large site – 52 ha, compared to the 14.3 ha of the Ueno Zoo – to show its animals moving in a more free and natural environment.

Anura

[edit]

Anura (Japanese: アヌーラ) is a male Asian elephant at the Tama Zoo. As of 2025, he is 72 years old and the oldest elephant living in Japan. Anura was born in 1953 in the Dominion of Ceylon and imported to Japan in 1956. He originally lived at Ueno Zoo and was moved to Tama Zoo in 1958. Anura was named after Anura Bandaranaike, the son of Ceylon's then-prime minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike.[2]
