Description
Weighing in at 304 and 250 pounds, these two elephant babies are 3 months old at this time. They are Sonny and Eugenia, born 3 weeks apart in January 2022 and living at the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Omaha, Nebraska. Their moms are always nearby as they rough house, run and hide between moms’ legs, and pile on each other and rest.
Female African Elephant calves gain 1-2 pounds per day, and the males gain 2-4 pounds per day. Eugenia was the first elephant born in this zoo’s 127-year history, with Sonny being the second.
African elephants are smart, emotional, highly social, and have incredible memories. They have large ears, shaped much like the continent of Africa itself. The larger surface area of their ears can be used as large fans to help keep them cool in the blazing African sun. They can live 60-70 years, however, their conservation status is Endangered to Critically Endangered, due primarily to poaching their ivory tusks. (Sheldrickwildlifetrust.org)
This would make an interesting puzzle, throw pillow, shower curtain, mug, or greeting card, in addition to wall art choices. Please visit lindabrittain.pixels.com for MANY other gift and home decor suggestions.
