The elephant family just got four tons bigger! Samson, a 19-year-old Asian elephant from @ABQBioPark Zoo in New Mexico, arrived in town last night and caregivers are eager to welcome the extra-large newcomer into the Oregon Zoo herd.
He’ll remain behind the scenes for a month or so before caregivers gradually begin acquainting him with Samudra, Rose-Tu and the rest of the herd. A date for Samson's public debut has not been set, but visitors should be able to see him in Elephant Lands by May. at Oregon Zoo
