The gestation period for elephants can be nearly two years long.

The expectant elephants undergo regular checkups with zoo veterinarians, who ensure the animals are comfortable during their ultrasounds.

This marks the first time the Zoo will welcome a baby elephant into the world, and you have an opportunity to get involved.

On May 2nd, the zoo will livestream an elephant ultrasound on its Facebook page.
