On August 23rd, there was a new addition to the Oregon Zoo....a new baby elephant. We happen to be a the zoo that day but didn't go see the elephants because we knew it would be a busy exhibit. We waited a couple of weeks and in early September, Rose, myself, and Hannah (our neighbor) went to the zoo to see the new baby elephant. According to the Oregon Zoo website, the baby elephant was recently named
Samudra, or Sam for short.
Samudra is Hindi for "lord of the ocean."
When he was born he weighed in at 286 lbs (and I thought Rose was a big girl at 8 lbs). As of Sept. 5
th Sam (the elephant) weighs 310 lbs. He is so cute! Here are few pictures from our trip to the zoo. Enjoy.
