The Eternal Grandpa Lin Wang

• The Eternal Grandpa Lin Wang: In 1986, when the zoo relocated from Yuanshan to Mucha, Lin Wang and Malan's 'wedding of the century' and their move were welcomed by hundreds of thousands of citizens lining the streets. As he grew older, he became a shared childhood memory for children and adults across Taiwan. • Passing Away at Old Age and Preservation: In 2002, his companion Malan passed away due to illness. Lin Wang also peacefully passed away the following year (2003) on February 26th, at the age of 86, setting a record for the oldest captive Asian elephant at the time. His remains were subsequently made into a large taxidermy specimen, currently displayed at the Mucha Zoo's education center.
