Sad News

Our baby elephant died in utero. As far as I know, Mom Elephant is okay. This is a sucky, unfair, sad end to a 22-month wait. The complete story can be found here. The dedication & compassion shown by the Elephant Keepers is another example of why we're one of the top zoos in the world. Please send good thoughts to the keepers & the remaining two pregnant elephants.

I remember when Raja was born, and it does not seem like it was 13 years ago! Sheesh.

I'm sad to hear that the baby didn't make it. But I'll keep my fingers crossed that the other babies do.

That's too bad. With any luck, it won't be the last time she's pregnant, though. Oh yeah, happy holidays Tiff!
