Phoebe's new girl
Phoebe, an Asian elephant, gave birth to a girl December 6th, and mom and daughter are already spending some time on exhibit. I'm sure the Columbus Zoo has excellent photos, and there is video, but here are my shots from today.
Phoebe keeps the baby pretty-well covered in straw and wood shavings.
With sadness I report that the baby elephant died yesterday.
