The baby boom continues!

Happy news for Dublin Zoo who have welcomed not one but two Asian elephant calves in the last 6 weeks.

The healthy male calf was born to mother Anak at 6.24am on Tuesday 19^th August, weighing in at 70kg.

There’s no name yet.

He will join the rest of the herd – Bernhardine, Asha, Yasmin and her new calf which was born last month, mum Anak and Dad Upali in the Kaziranga Forest Trail at Dublin Zoo which is sponsored by The Natural Confectionery Company.

 Director of Dublin Zoo Leo Oosterweghel tells Juliette Gash about the birth;
