Jewel, the Los Angeles Zoo’s 61-year-old Asian elephant, was euthanized due to declining health.

Zoo staff monitored the geriatric elephant and provided supportive care around the clock for several days before determining that her quality of life would not improve, the zoo said in a statement. She was euthanized Thursday evening.

"The entire Los Angeles Zoo family is grieving this loss," said Denise M. Verret, CEO & zoo director. Jewel and a companion, 57-year-old Tina, spent 30 years together under private ownership until the U.S. Department of Agriculture removed them in 2009, the zoo said."She will be remembered as an incredible ambassador for her endangered species," said chief veterinarian Dominique Keller.All the news you need to know, every day
