Home of Jumbo править

About the half of the other different languages WP say Jumbo was captured in Abyssinia (East-Africa), not in French Sudan (Mali) West-Africa. They provide sources for this, how about that French-Sudan theory? (By the way - French Sudan was etsablished 1880 (about 20 years after Jumbo was captured). So who is right?

According to Paul Chambers’s Jumbo: This Being the True Story of the Greatest Elephant in the World, “Baker first met Jumbo in February 1862, in the remote desert highlands that straddle the border between eastern Sudan and Abyssinia (now Eritrea)”. IMO, that passage has something to do with this here confusion. *Fixed* — 01:17, 17 сентября 2010 (UTC)Ответить
