At one time, people believed that elephants were reincarnations of the gods. Today, the Asian Elephant struggles to survive against poachers in the wild and the ongoing loss of its natural habitat. Sadly, the plight of the Asian Elephant is not unique. Each year, the Earth loses an estimated 50,000 species. Siegfried & Roy's majestic Asian Elephant, Gildah, is the largest occupant of the Secret Garden - and the Garden's only vegetarian resident.
