The Rio Grande Zoo is pleased to announce the arrival of a beautiful baby Asian Elephant weighing in at a mere 318-pounds. The bouncing baby girl arrived on Wednesday morning 9/2/09 and is currently bonding with her mom, Rozie. Rozie was the first elephant born at the Rio Grande Zoo, and this new bouncing baby girl is the second. Rozie has been pregnant since November 2007, and has received excellent care during her 22-month pregnancy. Although Rozie and her baby are behind the scenes, spending some private time bonding, they'll be out and about in the elephant yard soon, so keep an eye on the @cabq Twitter account and the BioPark Facebook page for updates!
