When the reptiles arrived safely in Los Angeles, they were escorted to the zoo’s Jennings Veterinary Hospital for in-depth health assessments and quarantine.

The clip, titled “Me at the zoo,” was the first video uploaded onto YouTube 20 years ago, opening the door to a new medium of television.

The zoo said that it’s currently unfeasible to replace Billy and Tina’s two former herd members, who recently died, and that elephants need to live in larger social groups, so officials opted to move them.

Then there are the truly obscure offences - like a parent ignoring a school attendance order, applying for a driver's licence when banned or littering in a zoo.

Rico, who lives with Tina, a female two-toed sloth, in the zoo's jaguar house, has been regularly monitored since the surgery.
