Atlanta Elephants Unpack Trunks

That is about the message from Mark Davis, for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, regarding the three African elephant cows which had been reported on their way to the North Carolina Zoo soon.

"They were bound early next year for the North Carolina Zoo for a date with C'sar, the zoo's big bull."

North Carolina Zoo officials determined that the Atlanta elephants might be a little too old to be first time mothers and are in search of younger cows.

Zoo Atlanta celebrated, Tuesday, the 20th anniversary of the arrival of their three big ladies:

"Tuesday afternoon, the zoo plans a celebration of elephantine proportions for the three — with some condolences tossed in, perhaps.

"C'sar, according to all reports, is one fine-looking fellow," Davis ends.
