Eighteen elephants are coming to the United States from Africa after a U.S. judge approved their importation over the protests of animal rights groups.
Zoos in Omaha, Nebraska; Dallas, Texas; and Wichita, Kansas will each receive six elephants.
The group Friends of Animals had tried to block the elephants importation.
We're not going to be able to keep the animals from coming to these zoos, that's for sure.
