Hello, Peanut
by chuckofish
We have a new baby elephant at our flyover zoo. Born on Friday, April 26, 2013 at 10:57 p.m., she is the daughter of Ellie, a 42-year-old Asian elephant, and Raja, our resident Elephas maximus stud. The baby weighed 251 pounds and stands 38 inches tall.
Now, of course, there is a contest to name her. You can vote here.
The names are not too exciting. I prefer Peanut.


Peanut is not very pretty. But now I want to go to the zoo!
Well, most newborns are not. I’m sure she will improve!
Susie, you may be too young to remember but I’m sure you’ve heard the story that “Peanut” was Mary’s suggestion at Flynn Park ES. Duuuh. (I voted for “Violet.”)
How about Horton?!
She does resemble Horton!
