Louisville Zoo’s Scotty the Baby Elephant is a Celebrity!

Have you seen the newest issue of People Magazine on the stands? Angelina Jolie sort of jumps right out at you doesn’t she?! Then, too, there’s Nicole Richie looking more beautiful than ever with her adorable little girl, Harlow (she looks just like her daddy, Joel!).

Quite frankly, though, the real star is inside the magazine, and when it’s all said and done, he’ll be bigger than Nicole, Harlow, and Angelina put together. He’s Scotty, the adorable baby elephant at the Louisville Zoo – and he has a big beautiful picture and a write up. Whatcha got for that, Miss Jolie?!

“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!”
