Best Answer

Lucy was special because Don Johanson found half of her whole skeleton, and was the oldest at that time. She was named Lucy because Don Johanson was listening to the beetles song "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" on his tape recorder.

Lucy the Elephant is a monument in Margate, NJ. It is a humongous statue of an elephant. Lucy stands 20 meters high. I am not sure why she is famous, but she has been attracting tourists and property buyers all around the world. She's probably famous because there is nothing like her in the world!
