We are trunk in love with the newest member of our herd! 💙🐘 The Toledo Zoo is thrilled to share the incredible behind-the-scenes footage of African elephant, Renee, giving birth to her male calf on Feb. 17. We're grateful to the dedicated veterinary staff, trainers, and Elephant team for providing meticulous care and monitoring that has resulted in Renee and her calf being in excellent health. The community can join us in our excitement by participating in the naming contest. The winning name will be announced on March 15, followed by the calf’s public exhibit debut on March 16. Cast your vote now by donating at the link in our bio. Our celebrations will continue on April 6 at the Elephant Baby Bash, where guests can meet the calf and bring him enrichment items from our registry. Find event details and the online registry at the events link in our bio. The community can also help provide exceptional animal care and enrichment for all animals at the Zoo with a Zoo PAL sponsorship. Starting today, Kroger will match elephant Zoo PAL donations up to $5,000. Zoo PAL benefits and sponsor levels can be found at the link in our bio. Full details about Renee and her calf are available on our website.
