The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium team will take cues from Phoebe and her calf and viewing schedules are subject to change. Hours will be expanded when the zoo team determines it is possible.
The male elephant calf was born June 16 and recently he weighed in at 261 pounds according to zoo officials.
Phoebe and her calf have remained behind the scenes as they bonded with one another and other members of the herd. The calf is vocal, sometimes emitting a low grumble, and he continues to test out his trunk while exploring his surroundings.
