German elephant settling into Pennsylvania

Thabo Umsai arrived in Pittsburgh from Dresden back on August 11th. He has been evidently adjusting well. It appears he will not be going to Birmingham as planned. And he is having access with the six resident females at Pittsburgh through a barrier. Everything seems to be going well. Welcome to America Thabo!
