Hundreds gathered at the Columbus Zoo to catch a glimpse of the newest (and possibly cutest) member of the herd—a 230-pound Asian elephant calf making her first public appearance with mom Sunny and protective aunt Rudy. The little one’s still waiting for her official name, but she’s already winning hearts and represents a big step for endangered Asian elephant conservation. With another elephant baby expected next year, the zoo’s commitment to these gentle giants is stronger than ever. If you visited, what was your favorite moment? How do you feel about zoos’ role in protecting endangered species? #Pets #ColumbusZoo #BabyElephant
