A few years after his arrival in Japan, she was in Inokashira Park, where he spent the next six decades of his life. Deprived of their friendly contacts with their own kind, she began to show aggression towards people. In 1956 and in 2011. she attacked attendants and veterinarians, with the result that for many years she was kept on a chain.
