Jun. 27, 1953 - Two Ton Dicksie the Inquisitive elephant; Two ton Dicksie, a 12 year old African elephant at the London Zoo, is just as inquisitive as other little girls. On a day she watched with interest the peculiar entics of her keeps when he leaves her enclosure. It seemed to her that, when he shut the gate, he twiddled something on the other side. So one night Dicksie decided to do the same. There was a click, and there in her trunk was a padlock, Dicksie decided to push the gate. It opened and she strolled out along the public paths munching a hedgegrow at two. She then decided to pay a visit to her friend the gorilla, when along came someone she recognized Dicksie's own keeper, who gently taking her tusk led her back to her enclosure
