SEOUL, Korea ¶ Oct 25, 2011 (Whowired) -- Taesani, 38-year-old Asian breed elephant who has been one of the most popular animal and lived nearly entire his life at the Seoul Children Grand Park, died on October 13. This lovely "old timer" at the park who was born in 1974, is said to have been suffering a solitary life -- which contributed to relatively faster aging -- died of a heart attack. The Seoul Metropolitan Facilities Management Corporation which is responsible for operating the Park, is planning to hold a memorial ceremony for the most beloved elephant who has been delivering Seoulites with cherished moments of pleasure for the past 37 years.
