Peaches was the Zoo's first African elephant. She came to the Zoo as a one-year-old calf and spent a great deal of time with her keepers—such as Ralph "Gabe" Davis, seen here—as a youngster, following them around at their work and checking their pockets for treats with her trunk. She seemed to have a prejudice against women, however—no matter how she tried, Belle Benchley could never win Peaches over, always getting the cold shoulder whenever she came to visit.
