What to know

  • Tula-Tu, a calf at Oregon Zoo, is being treated for EEHV, a virus that can turn life-threatening within days and is often fatal to young elephants.
  • The same virus killed Tula-Tu's half-sister, making this diagnosis particularly significant for the zoo.
  • Zoo officials report her condition is currently stable but emphasize she remains in critical condition and is 'not out of the woods yet.'

“Elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus, known as EEHV, can become life threatening within a few days if it becomes active. It's fatal to many young elephants.”
