December 16, 2004|From Times Staff Reports

The Los Angeles Zoo has reunited two aging elephants, Ruby and Gita, after a long separation, officials said Wednesday.

Ruby had been sent to a zoo in Tennessee despite the protests of animal rights advocates who contended that the elephants were best friends and needed to be together.

She was brought back from that zoo and quarantined for 30 days. The quarantine ended Tuesday, and the elephants were together Wednesday.
