The @NationalZoo released a detailed update on how $LinhMai is doing this morning. The level of care, attention, and love going into this is inspiring. We'll summarize things here: - She's separated from the three adults by a "howdy barrier" due to some initial aggression

We helped raise almost $58,000 to name Linh Mai. She's been very protected by the zoo as she bonds with her new family and gets through her newborn phase. She's going to be loved by the Zoo and DC when she makes her debut.

Linh Maiโs first weeks have been tenuous, leading to less media updates than weโd expect. However, we hear sheโs doing well and weโll be seeing more of her soon. The nationโs capital is obsessed with her, and we suspect everyone else will be as well. https://t.co/ttwMTYdgRw

In a novel move, feces from a baby elephant in Ohio were shipped to the zoo and mixed with Linh Maiโs formula.

Linh Mai is doing just fine
We've anxiously been awaiting Linh Mai's next update as she gets ready for her public debut soon. My son was worried about how she's doing and if she "gets enough to eat," so we made this. @NationalZoo you have a star on your hands...

man....these living conditions are horrible This zoo (Wildlife World Zoo) has had multiple accounts of animal abuse - just google it in an ideal world, animals in captivity wouldn't be a thing, but seeing shit like this makes you appreciate the level of care and attention

Alright my sons are now doing $LinhMai poses before bed. I think we are on to something. I wonder if the @NationalZoo has any idea what Linh has already inspired.

Linh Mai is generationally inspirational ๐ ๐ธ. I hope the @NationalZoo sees this!
My two sons (2 and 6) are heavily invested in how Linh Mai is doing, and theyโve been super nervous about her bonding after the recent @NationalZoo updates. I told them Linh is doing great, and she sneaks out at night to train Kung Fu with Qing Bao and Bao Li at night.

Reminder that $LinhMai's naming campaign raised the most EVER, and that she's already been on NBC, ABC, FOX, Today Show, and countless others, despite not even having her public appearance yet. The appearance will be early Spring (a few weeks to month or so, I'd imagine).
