Baby Baylor

The Houston Zoo's newest bundle of joy! After a 23 month long pregnancy, Shanti the Asian elephant gave birth to a 348 pound baby boy last Tuesday morning in the McNair Asian Elephant Habitat. The new little boy was named Baylor, because of the outstanding advances being made by the Baylor College of Medicine to reduce the threat of the elephant herpes virus. We can't wait to meet Baylor and congratulate Shanti!
