CBS Pittsburgh September 9, 2021 Officials at Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium say a new baby elephant born over the summer has been placed in guarded condition due to "several serious medical conditions." The female African elephant calf was born on July 18 at the zoo's International Conservation Center in Somerset County. The zoo says she is not gaining enough weight and that is putting her overall health at risk.
