Nangi (her name is pronounced "NAHN-ghee", with a hard "g" sound, not "NAHN-jee") is a female Indian elephant who works at the Mystic Springs Oasis, a secluded naturalist/nudist club in the Sahara Square section of Zootopia city.  There she teaches yoga and meditation, being an expert in both disciplines. 

In spite of her species, and her pot belly, Nangi is extremely flexible and agile, and is able to easily assume all the known positions of yoga.  She is, however (unlike many of her species) rather selectively forgetful (as when she is questioned by Yax about Emmitt Otterton, one of her students).  Whether that is a result of a psychological condition, or a matter of choice, is not clear.

She is not very social, and can be rather taciturn and reserved, and not particularly forthcoming, when addressed or questioned.  Her responses are usually short quips, and are quite dispassionate.

Full Name: Nangi

Species: Indian Elephant

Design Inspiration/Influences: None

Appearance: Nangi is a middle-aged Indian elephant who, in spite of her pot belly, is extremely agile and flexible, and is adept at all yoga positions.  The upper section of her trunk, and a portion of her belly, are elaborately tattooed.  She also wears some beaded bracelets on her right wrist.

Personality: Serene, dispassionate and extraordinarily focused.  She tends to be rather taciturn and extremely reserved...especially when in the midst of instructing her students. 

Unfortunately, for an elephant, she doesn't have a terribly good memory...either by condition or by choice (which isn't very clear).
