Human babies are not the only ones that can be seen with an ultrasound. The Oklahoma City Zoo recently shared a video of one of their elephant resident having an ultrasound and it’s simply amazing to see. A pregnant 25-year-old Asian elephant named Asha is given an ultrasound, as seen in the video. She’s eight months pregnant but as an elephant’s pregnancy lasts around 22 months, she’s still nowhere near the end.

By the vets’ calculations, Asha will give birth in February 2022. Until then, they get to monitor her and her baby’s health often. For now, both of them are “as healthy as can be”. If you’ve never seen an elephant ultrasound or any animal ultrasound before, you need to check out the short video above!

Asha and six other elephants live at the zoo. She currently gets some special treatment, mostly in the form of extra fruits and vegetables. She enjoys eating watermelon, bananas, and cantaloupe the most.
