The following statement is an example of which logical fallacy? Elephants live in tropical climates where there is plenty of vegetation. So we probably would not see any at the Chicago zoo.

The elephant-zoo inference is the fallacy of accident.

It takes the general truth that elephants live in tropical climates.

Then it forces that rule onto a special case where it does not hold, the zoo.

Zoos deliberately keep animals outside their natural habitat, an exception to the rule.

Applying a general rule to an exceptional case it was never meant to cover is the fallacy of accident.
