We’re delighted to announce the birth of our first Asian Elephant calf in Australia. After a labour of 3 hours, Thong Dee delivered her first baby, a boy.
This is a major step in our efforts to help Asian Elephants, which are endangered in the wild. Want to be part of the celebration? Help us name our new member of the herd.
