Hi! My Name Is...
Born on October 21, 2025, at 10:41 p.m., this baby boy has been stealing hearts since his arrival. He is also the second elephant calf born this year — a historic first for the Columbus Zoo! His mother, Phoebe, is calm and consistent with him, and the rest of the herd has been equally as supportive. He spends time both indoors and outdoors (when the weather cooperates) and has even met his sister, Rita Jean, born on July 23! He is acing the milestones for his age and has already made his public debut to Zoo guests.
