First Baby Asian Elephant Born at National Zoo in 25 Years
Visitors at the Smithsonian’s National Park are getting an early look at a 2 month old Asian elephant, which is the first born in nearly 25 years. Guests are getting a brief preview of the endangered animal before its debut on Earth Day.
Experts say that Linh Mai represents more than just a new addition to the zoo. With only about 30,000 to 50,000 Asian elephants left in the wild, her story highlights the importance of conservation. If early reactions are any indication of whats to come, she’s going to keep winning hearts.
