That's gotta be a big stick. ;)

I love baby animals. This is just awesome! :snap:

But, wow, they have a long gestation period. :eek:

Wow, great news! You're even faster than the media. I can't wait to see the baby elephant next year.
I guess I'll have to go by myself though as the boy says elephants are smelly!

So cool!! :snap:

Yes, pictures would be great!!

Note to self....

You have a year to buy a camera....

There are many others here that I would find it perhaps even more shocking....

Miracles do happen. ;)

NEWS FLASH!!!!

Rose-Tu went into labor at about 8:00 this morning. The elephant barn was closed and the doors covered to turn the indoor viewing room into a maternity ward. All of the cows are inside with the expectant mom.

Rose-Tu is expected to deliver within the next 36 hours, although labor could last as long as 4 - 5 days. Once born, the baby will be examined and allowed some bonding time with mom before going on exhibit.

The animal management team is on 24-hour alert. Cots and provisions have been moved into the barn.

Our last baby elephant was Rose-Tu fourteen years ago. She also came just before Labor Day, and was viewable to the public over the holiday weekend.

Our elephants have always had a strong sense of marketing savvy!

Sending safe delivery vibes Rose's way!!!!! Add me to the we want pictures list!

Q: Why are baby elepants wrinkled?

A: Ever tried to iron one?


Congrats to Midwife Ron ! :D
