We're Pregnant!!!

(Okay, so I'm the last person you'd expect to post THAT thread title.)

The zoo confirmed today that Rose-Tu, our thirteen-year-old, 7,000 pound Asian elephant is pregnant! The Oregon Zoo has long been a leader in elephant breeding, with the most sucessful breeding herd in the country. We haven't had a baby, though, since Rose-Tu, so this is big news.

This was something of a surprise. The father, Tusko, is on breeding loan to us, and was just introduced to the cows last fall. The successful breeding took place in early December, which is a quick courtship for elephants. That puts Rose-Tu at about the tenth month of her pregnancy.

She's due around September or October of next year.
