Today's Geo Quiz is something of a mystery. A zoo located in a city on the east coast of Northern Ireland turns 75 this year.
The city and its zoo barely survived World War II. German bombers blitzed the city in April, 1941. 200 planes targeted the city's factories and shipyards, the same shipyards where the Titanic was built decades earlier.

One thousand people were killed and half of the city's houses were destroyed. The zoo was forced to euthanize it's dangerous animals for fear they'd get loose. But one elephant somehow managed to survive:
"There's a zoo legend about the lady who took care of the elephant during the second world war, but when we stated to think about it, we knew so little this is 1941, 60+ years ago, and pieces of info any snippets would be a great help to us."

So who came forward to rescue the zoo's baby elephant? And what city's zoo are we talking about?
Guess away!
