Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Which animal nicknamed Jumbo was exported from Sudan to a zoo in Paris in the 19th century? "
...
Jumbo (about December 25, 1860 – September 15, 1885), also known as Jumbo the Elephant and Jumbo the Circus Elephant, was a 19th-century male African bush elephant born in Sudan. Jumbo was exported to Jardin des Plantes, a zoo in Paris, and then transferred in 1865 to London Zoo in England. Despite public protest, Jumbo was sold to P. T. Barnum, who took him to the United States for exhibition in March 1882.
The giant elephant's name has spawned the common word, "jumbo," meaning large in size. Jumbo's shoulder height has been estimated to be 3.23 metres (10 ft 7 in) at the time of his death, and was claimed to be about 4 m (13 ft 1 in) by Barnum.
Jumbo is the Tufts University mascot and is referenced by a plaque outside the old Liberal Hall, now a Wetherspoons pub, in Crediton.
