There’s a New Boy in Town — Phoebe’s Calf Explores!

_{This YouTube video was produced by The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.}

There’s a new boy in town – and he’s ready to meet you!

Our newest elephant calf, Phoebe’s baby boy, is making his public debut on Friday, October 31, 2025!

The healthy male calf has been bonding with Phoebe, exploring his surroundings, gradually meeting the rest of the herd, and charming his Animal Care team—and now he is ready for guests to be able to view him, too!

We’re going to start with small time increments to support the calf’s current routine and ongoing acclimation to the world around him. Here’s his schedule for the upcoming weekend:

· Friday (Oct. 31), Saturday (Nov. 1), and Sunday (Nov. 2): 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
· Location: Inside the Zoo’s Asian Elephant Conservation Center in the Asia Quest region

We’ll announce the viewing plan for the following week at a later date, and you can always find the information on our website as well.

Thank you for being part of this special moment—and for supporting the care and conservation of Asian elephants, here in Ohio and around the world. We can’t wait for you all to meet him!
