Visitors can now catch glimpses of the young elephant as he begins making regular appearances in the River’s Edge area of the zoo. Jet, born to mom Jade, was delivered safely on November 23, 2024.

More Appearances to Come

There’s no official schedule yet for when Jet, the baby elephant, will be regularly visible to the public. For now, the team at the St. Louis Zoo is taking a gentle approach, giving the little guy time to adjust and explore his new surroundings at his own pace. Since his birth, Jet has gained 300 pounds and now tips the scales at 578.

The zoo is open daily this spring from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
