She may only be 10 days old, but this baby calf is taking over news today with adorable snaps of her first days walking.
Born on June 7th, staff at Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent, celebrated the latest addition to the zoo after a 21 ½ month wait.
Head of the elephant section, Natalie Boyd, said:
“We are delighted to welcome our newest member of the herd after a 21 1/2 month wait, and are especially pleased with the range of natural behaviours shown by our elephants, who were all present.
“Many other females, including all Tammi’s extended family assisted in getting the calf to her feet within minutes and encouraging her to suckle. This is Tammi’s fifth baby and she is, once again, proving to be an excellent mother, and this time is assisted by Jara, Uzuri and even little four year old Manzi.”
Howletts are now asking for members of the public to send in suggestions for the elephants name over on their Twitter page here.
