The world's oldest Asian elephant, 86-year-old Lin Wang, seen in this undated photograph, died of old age on Feb. 26, 2003, at the Taipei Zoo. The much-loved elephant was a World War II veteran that carried cannons for the Japanese army in Burma. He was awarded to Chinese troops as a war trophy after the defeat of the Japanese and moved to Taiwan with the Nationalist army in 1949. (Reuters - Handout)
