Mikki, the Louisville Zoo’s 33-year-old African elephant, gave birth to a male calf on Friday!

It is only the second elephant born at the Louisville Zoo in the Zoo’s 50-year history.

Mikki gave birth after nearly a 22-month gestation (651 days)!

Right now, Mikki and her new calf will be bonding and won’t be on display at the Louisville Zoo.

Congratulations!
