Description
Smithsonian's National Zoo's most anticipated new arrival—an Asian elephant calf Linh Mai—was born during a snowstorm on February 2, 2026, and has been charming everyone who meets her ever since. This plush elephant backpack is soft enough to double as a travel companion and roomy enough for essentials like snacks and a water bottle. The zippered compartment opens in the back, adjustable straps keep it secure, and at 20 inches tall it's close to the same size as the kiddo wearing it. Ideal for a zoo visit, a nature trail, or an imaginary savanna that happens to look a lot like the backyard.
