Happy the elephant may get a special visitor at The Bronx Zoo — the judge who is set to decide whether she should be moved to a sanctuary.

Bronx Judge Alison Tuitt seemed skeptical at a court hearing Monday as activists pushing to have Happy ultimately freed to a sanctuary argued that the pachyderm is desperately lonely in her zoo enclosure.

Steven Wise, a lawyer for the group the Nonhuman Rights Project, said Happy was depressed living in “one acre” of outdoor space and confined to even smaller indoor quarters during winter, contentions that zoo officials denied.

“She’s lived that way for decades. Her health hasn’t declined,” Tuitt told Wise.

Wise replied, “Go visit Happy. You’ll see a depressed elephant.”

The judge responded, “Perhaps we will all go see Happy.”

Outside court, the activists’ lawyer reaffirmed his offer to tour the zoo with the judge, saying, “Let’s all go visit the elephant, and you will see what a depressed elephant looks like.”

The zoo declined comment.

Both sides are due back in court Jan. 6.
