There's been another bump in the road for the two elephants being transported from a zoo in Seattle to the Oklahoma City Zoo.

The elephants were supposed to arrive in Oklahoma City nearly a week ago. But instead, they remain housed at the San Diego zoo.

Bamboo and Chai have been at the center of controversy in Seattle. Many continue to protest the elephants move to OKC. Claims are it would harm their health, and some would rather see the two go to an animal sanctuary.

Last week, the elephants left Seattle but had to make a detour to San Diego because of bad weather.

Zoo officials said because of the time needed to arrange their trip here, Bamboo and Chai will stay in San Diego for a few more weeks.

We are told the elephants are eating and drinking like they should.
