SHANGRALA'S

ADORABLE BABY ELEPHANT!

A rare Asian Elephant was born at Chester Zoo and the whole delivery was caught on video! It's a little boy! Enjoy! :)       The male calf arrived to 20-year-old Sithami Hi Way after a 22-month gestation and a 20-minute labor. Keepers - who stayed up late to monitor the birth live on CCTV - say mom and her calf, who is yet to be named, are doing well. The healthy new arrival was born onto soft sand and was on his feet and nursing within a few minutes.       An elephant calph weighs around 250 pounds when born. Sithami stimulating her newborn calf and encouraging him to get up by kicking up sand around him. The rest of the herd then gathered around and helped the baby up.       Elephants are some of the most intelligent animals on Earth. The calf has been welcomed by the rest of the Elephant herd, including his future playmates: one-month-old baby Indali Hi Way and one-year-old half-sister Nandita Hi Way.       Asian Elephants are listed as Endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Chester Zoo conservationists are working in India to protect the species from human-wildlife conflict. The new calf is an invaluable addition to the breeding program for this species.
