Now you see why I have been raging against the Oregon Zoo's elephant exhibit here on ZooBeat. The enclosure sucks, and the zoo director Tony Vecchio has admitted that its time for a change. The elephants always hang around those big, ugly garage doors in the background.
I think he is trying to say that they have a Borneo Pygmy Elephant and they are trying to breed her with a male Indian Elephant.(Even though I didn't know they have Pygmy Elephants though).

Yes, I have seen pictures of her and Tusko in together. She is one of only two Pygmy elephants in the WAZA. Making her genetics quite valuable... (which was the purpose of her importation)
