Notes	Cocoa was a female Asian elephant and had been born in the wild. She became a part of Atlanta businessman Asa Candler's personal menagerie via the Hamburg Zoo in Germany. Upon the death of Atlanta City Zoo's elephant Maude in 1933 Candler donated Cocoa. Cocoa died in 1950 and the children of Atlanta raised money for the zoo to buy two new elephants to replace Cocoa. The new elephants were Cocoa II and Penny.
