The baby elephant was born on February 14, a perfect Valentine’s Day present for the Budapest Zoo. Especially because the last such joyous event in Budapest took place in 1961. The baby and mother, the twelve-year-old Angele from La Palmyre Zoo, are well, although it is uncertain whether the nurturing of the baby elephant will go without problems. The keepers are monitoring if the baby is feeding well and if the mother is looking after her young properly. This is Angele’s first calf and she cannot be experienced in caring for her baby. The estimated height of the baby elephant is one meter and weighs approximately 85 kilograms. Father of the baby, the thirteen-year-old Assam from Chester Zoo, for a time being has to stay out of spotlight.
