4 African Elephants Are Currently Pregnant at the Sedgwick County Zoo: 'Some Trunk-tastic News'

The animals are typically pregnant for an average of 22 months

The Sedgwick County Zoo will soon be expanding its animal family with multiple new additions.

Earlier this week, the Wichita, Kansas-based destination announced in a post on Facebook that four of its elephants are currently pregnant.

"We're announcing some trunk-tastic news!" the zoo wrote. "Sedgwick County Zoo is expecting not one, not two, but FOUR new additions to our elephant family!"

"Stay tuned for updates as their pregnancies evolve and remember that similar to pregnancies in humans, there are inherent risks during the early stages," the organization added. "We maintain a cautious optimism and eagerly anticipate sharing updates along this journey."

According to the zoo, the first elephant expecting is "nurturing and protective" Simunye, who is 7 months pregnant with a baby that is currently the size of a papaya.

The zoo's "independent and sassy" Talia is carrying a baby that is now the size of a coconut.

"Observant and cautious" Xolani is 5 months pregnant with a calf the size of a grapefruit, while Arusi, who is the "center of attention and foody" is 4 months pregnant with a baby the size of an avocado.

The zoo previously teased the animals' exciting pregnancy news in another post, sharing an image of each of the fruits before the animals in their enclosure. "We've got BIG news! Can anyone guess what each of these fruits represents?!" the establishment wrote in the caption.
