Visit the newborn elephants

Visit the newborn elephants. After the birth of Mook Uhm, Sanuk’s elephant calf has now also been born. She was born on Wednesday, February 4. Sanuk is taking wonderful care of her calf and is following the example of her own mother, Thong Thai. It is the first time in the history of ARTIS that two calves are growing up in the herd.
