 Dickerson Park Zoo, Missouri


This zoo has a terrible record with elephants. Of 10 elephants born at the zoo, only two are alive today. Five calves were stricken with the highly fatal elephant herpesvirus, with all but one dying from the deadly infection. Despite being a herpesvirus "hotspot," the zoo continued its breeding program for years, often transporting female elephants to and from other zoos and circuses.
