The Columbus Zoo announced the birth of a bouncing bundle of joy today, a baby elephant.
Born at about 2:35 PM today after a 655 day gestation period to Phoebe, a 21 year old Asian elephant. The daddy elephant (sire ) is Coco. Phoebe and Coco are the parents of Bodhi, the 4 year old elephant which was the first successful elephant birth at the Columbus Zoo... Phoebe has a third child from a previous relationship.
Columbus Zoo The news of the babies birth is for now right on the front page.
You can follow the Zoo on Twitter and Facebook too. I heard via Twitter this afternoon. The zoo tweets as @ColumbusZoo
The zoo's press release had lots of information about the endangerd species and the zoo's conservation efforts.
The baby elephant will not be on display for awhile.
The photo is Bodhi (the big brother elephant) in 2007. Still itty bitty as elephants go.
Columbus Zoo is Top Zoo in the US
