Frankie, the Asian elephant calf turned 16 weeks old yesterday! Frankie's attentive and experienced mom, Phoebe, decided it was time for his first swimming lesson, which went well. During Frankie's first swimming lesson, Phoebe started out by letting Frankie get used to the water in the shallow end of the pool. From there, she slowly guided Frankie to the deeper end of the pool, using her front feet to help him stay afloat while he learned how to paddle around the water. Elephants use their trun

🐘🍼The baby is ALMOST here!! Asian elephant, Phoebe, is expected to give birth to her precious bundle of joy sometime in June. The calf is vital to the conservation of this amazing species, as there are only 30,000-50,000 Asian elephants in their native range. These numbers are only 1/10 of the African elephant population. Phoebe's care team has installed cameras in the birthing area so that they can keep a close eye on her 24/7. Learn more about other ways they are preparing for her big delive

#ColumbusZooSchool is back and we are visiting with Asian elephant Hank! Did you know elephants have up to 40,000 muscles in their trunk? Check out this video to see how Hank uses those muscles to reach into the hay feeder and get a tasty treat. This adaptation, or special thing about his body, allows Hank to pick up objects and suck up water. What other adaptations do you think Asian elephants use in their habitat? Comment below and you’ll be entered for your chance to win a Raising Cane’s Kid

Double the baby elephants means double the trouble! Asian elephants Rita Jean and Ollie are growing up before our eyes and developing a true brother and sister bond along the way. Recently, these two calves have started engaging in play together, including mock charges, trunk wrestling, and running, which is beneficial for both to help develop their social skills. At this stage, Rita Jean is growing in independence – venturing farther from her mother, exploring new areas, and of course, initiati

This Center for Species Survival is the world’s first CSS conservation hub exclusively dedicated to a single species and uniquely located within the heart of Asian

Elephant babies deserve to live in the lush forests of East Asia, where their ancestors have roamed for millennia. They don't deserve to be confined at the Columbus Zoo in a sterile box, where they are kept for many months in the winter, or a puny yard with no trees or vegetation. Learn more and consider donating to support our work for elephants - Link in bio. Please share this post to maximize your impact, thank you 🙏 #10WorstZoos #ColumbusZoo

In case you missed our announcement last August… we have elephant-size updates on the horizon! The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is eagerly preparing for not just one, but TWO baby Asian elephants to arrive this year—one this summer and another later in the fall. This marks the first time in our history that two elephant moms are expecting at the same time, and we couldn’t be more excited! This moment is exactly why we expanded the elephant habitat this past year—creating more space for multigenerat

Just a sleeeeeeeeepy baby elephant 🐘💤 While baby elephants only sleep about 4-6 hours a day, sleeping is still essential to healthy growth and development for the calf.

She is growing and getting more inquisitive of her surroundings, while gaining confidence & exploring every single day.

A fun fact about our newest elephant calf: she loves to play in the sand! 🐘 But this isn’t just unique to her – all elephants love to coat themselves with sand. This behavior, called dusting, is a vital behavior where elephants use their trunks to spray dirt, dust, or mud all over their bodies to protect their skin from the sun, act as a natural sunscreen, and repel parasites and biting insects. This is why you’ll often see Sunny spraying dust all over the calf and coating her with it – she’s j
