Elephant baby on board

2009-03-01 - Columbus, Ohio, United States. Kathy Lynn Gray, THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Think your pregnancy was tough?
Imagine it lasting 22 months and ending with the delivery of a 300-pound baby.

But although the gestation period is long and the baby huge, Phoebe's not unlike pregnant humans in many ways.

A jumbo-sized loss for the Columbus Zoo, which is reporting the death of a seven-year-old Asian elephant.
