Raja the elephant has been one of the biggest attractions — literally and figuratively — at the St. Louis Zoo for decades. The zoo announced Thursday that the male Asian elephant born at the zoo nearly 31 years ago will be relocated to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio, probably in about a year. Raja was the first elephant ever born at the St. Louis Zoo, and the 10,000-pound animals' birthday on Dec. 27 is a big deal each year, complete with treats, songs and lots of visitors signing an oversized birthday card.
