Burma (born October 1982) is an Asian elephant at Monarto Safari Park in South Australia. Born in Myanmar (then known as Burma), she lived in New Zealand's Auckland Zoo from 1990 to 2024. Another elephant, Kashin, accompanied her until 2009, when Kashin was euthanised. Burma was the only elephant in her enclosure until 2015, when the zoo added a female elephant named Anjalee to the enclosure. The zoo announced in 2020 that they would end their elephant programme and sent Burma to South Australia in 2024.
