The calf, born over Labor Day Weekend, tipped the scales at 262 pounds.
The Indianapolis ZooThe zoo said he was very excited and curious about his new surroundings, but stayed close to mom.
We're told the baby will go outside at different times of day to get used to things, so you may catch a glimpse of him when you visit. New mother Zahara went into labor over the Labor Day weekend and delivered after just 20 minutes in labor. It was a historic birth, first in the world where the baby was born through artificial insemination to a mother who was also born through the same procedure. In fact, the first and second African elephants in the world to be conceived and born through artificial insemination were at the zoo in 2000.
“Zahara’s mother, Ivory, is known for her short labor times, and this baby came quickly as well,” said Niki Kowalski, assistant curator of elephants."Zahara is a first-time mom, but she's doing an excellent job. She's taking great care of the baby. She's very interested, very attentive to him. He's nursing well. Those are some of the first milestones we look for.
