Sedgwick County Zoo welcomes third baby elephant
The video above aired on April 22, 2025. WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – The Sedgwick County Zoo welcomed its third baby elephant this week. The African elephant calf was born early Tuesday morning to mother Arusi after 651 days of gestation. The average gestation period for an elephant is 18-22 months. The zoo has not yet confirmed the calf's gender. 'We are thrilled to welcome a third healthy calf,' said Katie Muninger, elephant manager at Sedgwick County Zoo. 'Three calves and three first-time moms have us all on our toes, but we're learning so much about the herd's social structure and each individual personality as we all settle into the new dynamic.' The new calf joins Bomani, born April 10, and Kijani, born April 14. The zoo says Bomani is already excited and curious about his new herdmate. 'Bomani, along with mom Talia and Simunye were present for the birth and have been a supportive presence for Arusi,' the zoo said in a news release. 'Kijani, his mother Xolani, and other herd members have had the opportunity to see the new arrival, but they are not together in the same space at this time.' Meet Chili: Lee Richardson Zoo welcomes giant anteater In April 2024, the SCZ announced that five elephants were pregnant after introducing Callee, a new male, to the herd in May 2023. While paternity tests take time, the zoo says there's a good chance all three calves share the same father and are half-siblings. 'In alignment with breeding recommendations from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums African Elephant Species Survival Plan, these additions to SCZ's herd are a reflection of the Zoo's commitment to support the health and sustainability of African elephant populations in North America,' the zoo said in the news release. Scott Newland, the zoo's president and CEO, previously said that if the pregnancies were successful, not only would they be the first elephants ever born in Kansas, but they would be the first zoo to have five African elephant births in a single year. Unfortunately, one of the pregnancies ended in a stillbirth in March. Visitors can expect to see at least one calf in the outdoor habitat daily, weather permitting. The zoo plans to release the name and gender of the calf live at 9 a.m. on the Today Show. For more information about the SCZ, visit their website or follow the zoo on Facebook.

Baby elephant at the Sedgwick County Zoo – it's a boy!
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The Sedgwick County Zoo says one of its four pregnant elephants has given birth. The zoo says the boy is a healthy African elephant calf. This marks an exciting milestone for the institution. The calf was born to mother Talia on Thursday, and both mother and baby are doing well. The calf's name is Bomani, which means 'warrior' in Swahili. 'We are overjoyed to welcome this precious new addition to our Zoo family,' Scott Newland, Sedgwick County Zoo president and CEO, said in a news release. 'This birth is a significant moment for the Zoo and serves as a symbol of hope for the future of African elephants in our North American population.' Sedgwick County Zoo welcomes newborn chimpanzee Zookeepers say Bomani stood up in the first few minutes after being born. He is already exploring his surroundings under the watchful eyes of his mother and the rest of the herd. The mother and baby will be kept behind the scenes while the zoo's veterinary and elephant care teams monitor for bonding, nursing and positive herd behaviors. This is Sedgwick County Zoo's first successful elephant birth. It had been preparing for the birth of five elephant calves, but last month, one of the pregnancies ended in a stillbirth. The three other expectant elephants, Xolani, Arusi, and Zuberi, are all pregnant with their first offspring and are due between spring and fall. Sedgwick County Zoo needs more space for baby elephants The zoo says the pregnancies are the result of years of careful planning and effort to establish a successful breeding program, which is aligned with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums African elephant Species Survival Plan to support the health and sustainability of African elephant populations. 'The arrival of this calf is a celebration of the vital work we do to protect endangered species,' Newland said. 'We hope the public will be inspired to learn more about African elephants and the challenges they face, and be part of the solution to help protect them for generations to come.'
