He’s a celebrity! 

Baby elephant Scotty
makes “People” magazine

Nicole Richie and Angelina Jolie aren’t the only stars featured in the current October 20 issue of “People” magazine.

The Louisville Zoo’s 18-month-old baby African elephant Scotty is spotlighted right alongside them in a special “Zoo Superstars” section, where Scotty garners a full-page photo and article.

“This is pretty exciting,” Louisville Zoo Elephant Area Supervisor Dave Campbell said. “We definitely think Scotty is a celebrity, and now the rest of the world will think so, too!”
