- Chunee (* um 1808 in Indien; † 23. Februar 1826 in London) war ein männlicher indischer Elefant, der zunächst auf der Bühne auftrat und später zu einer Zooattraktion wurde. Er wurde in seinem Käfig erschossen, als er nicht mehr zu kontrollieren war. (de)
- Chunee (or Chuny) was an Indian elephant who was brought to Regency London in 1811. Three elephants were brought to England in East India Company ships between 1809 and 1811. The third of these was Chunee. He travelled on the East Indiaman, , from Bengal, arriving in England in July 1811. The other two elephants, also owned by Stephani Polito at some point, arrived in England in September 1809, and June 1810. "Mr Polito ... has obtained possession of a remarkably fine Elephant, brought to England in the Hon. East India Company's ship, Winchelsea, Capt. William Moffat, which will be exhibited at Rumsey [sic] fair on Monday; and it is expected he will be offered for public inspection for a day or two, in this town [Winchester], on his way to the Exeter 'Change London." The second elephant was brought to England from Sri Lanka on the East India Company ship in June 1810. Chunee was originally exhibited at the Covent Garden Theatre, but was bought by circus owner Stephani Polito to join his menagerie at Exeter Exchange on the Strand in London. The menagerie was bought by Edward Cross in 1817. The events in which the elephant was put to death in 1826 became a cause célèbre. (en)
