Also, Columbus is now home to the largest elephant in North America: Hank!
Hank the Asian Elephant is more than 15,000lbs and 9 and a half feet tall! He is the largest elephant in North America and thought to be one of the largest captive elephants in the world. We saw him for the first time today and he is quite impressive. The zoo is also home to three other elephants: Phoebe, Connie, and baby Beco.
Some other pictures from this beautiful, sunny Sunday at the zoo:

A trip to the zoo isn't complete without a spin on the historic 1914 Mangles Illions Grand Carousel
