Omaha zoo welcomes baby elephant

Under Kiki’s watchful eye, her calf continued exploring the calf training area today! Each day, she becomes more and more interested in her environment, especially smaller enrichment items she can push and move at her age, like a firehose cube. Getting used to this space also means getting more comfortable on the scale. The calf’s natural curiosity—and the trusting bond mom has with our keeper staff—has her freely walking about the scale’s surface (as you can see, it's right beneath her). We have to hand it to our friends at Scales Sales & Service and Rice Lake Weighing Systems. It’s a wonderful scale and we thank you, more than we can say, for donating it to our herd! 📹: Jillian Voss, senior elephant keeper
