Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia has two new African elephants. Thirty-seven-year-old Robin and 34-year-old Petunia are getting used to their new surroundings after coming to Columbia from Disney's Animal Kingdom. The new arrivals are part of a swap. Riverbanks sent an elephant to the Disney park to mate with an elephant to expand the gene pool. The Animal Kingdom was looking for a new home for Robin and Petunia. Riverbanks' Andrea Mueller says the Disney elephants are getting used Belle and Penny, Riverbanks' remaining elephants. Mueller says the new elephants won't go on display until they mesh their personalities with the veterans.
