Our latest arrival, Mother and baby... new additions to our herd.

Meet Mae Bua Kam; she is 35 years old and has given birth to her third calf
The baby male calf was born at 01:30 a.m., on Friday 10^th February 2012.  He weighed approx 90 kg at birth.

Mother and baby are doing well despite giving birth to her calf unaided.

Mae Bua Kam is the mother of SIRNON, one of our talented painting elephants here at Mae Taeng Elephant Park. Her second calf, DANBO, unfortunately died at an early age.  

 These photos show the new baby protected by his mother shortly after the birth.
