Toledo Zoo and Baby Elephant

[Pembo]

If anyone is going to be in the Toledo, Ohio area this summer (riddlecon'ers), you should make a stop at the Toledo Zoo.

They have a baby elephant, born April 30. He's all of 300+ lbs now and looks very tiny compared to his 8000 lb momma. We were told that he is one of only a handfull of babies born in captivity and he only has a 50/50 chance of surviving the first year.

The zoo is doing a great job of keeping him secluded. They allow only small groups of people, for a short time, to view him and his momma. They also gave a little talk before you got to see him.

Anyway, we were there this past week and it was so awesome. I just wanted to share with my DIS friends. I'll post a picture as I soon as I get the film developed.

Awwww, I love baby animals! I wish I could come see him but I'll settle for seeing your picture when you post it.

Ohhh...they are SO cute.

Our zoo had a baby elelphant born almost 3 years ago. It has been so fun to watch her grow. The wait when she was a baby was VERY long!

We live right by Toledo but haven't been yet--swim team practice every day--but it's over Tuesday (after an 6 hour meet!) and I plan on taking the kids Wednesday.
