Trunk Toting Pachyderm Fathers Another Baby

Don’t begrudge Raja his strut if elephants actually do such things. St. Louis Zoo officials say Raja might well have fathered his second baby elephant in less than six months. It will take a while to be certain. Zoo officials believe 33-year-old Asian elephant Ellie is pregnant, though they won’t know for certain for another seven weeks. As one zoo official puts it, “Raja has done quite a lot for a 12-year-old.”
