Rozie the Elephant is Pregnant!



Albuquerque's own Asian elephant, Rozie, is now pregnant! Rozie was born at the Rio Grande Zoo in 1992 and is now all grown up and ready for motherhood.

Elephant gestation periods can last for up to two years, so it will be some time before we see Rozie's baby. In the meantime, she will be with the rest of the elephant herd at the Rio Grande Zoo.
