Not very many places are equipped to keep a full-grown African bull elephant. I hope they can find a super one for him, when it is time for him to leave the nest.

elephants
The little guy was born in Toledo, three years ago. He is still nursing. He is working on learning to get his health care taken care of in ways that are safe for his keepers and for him -- how to put his feet out where they can be examined and given pedicures, etc.

Oh right, just what I need, a bull elephant........... The zoo stuff I read said that while they manage their (female) elephants in "full contact" mode (keepers right in with the elephants), that is just not safe with bulls. They need to be kept in "limited contact", which means they are touched, but only through bars.... Hence Louie's training to stick his feet out to be taken care of, etc.....
Two dogs is just right. Three was really one more than suits me best. I think our household is going to stay at this level for a while.
