Baby Elephant Born on Koh Chang
Submitted by Ian on January 6, 2010 – 2 Comments
Baan Chang Thai elephant camp in Klong Prao, Koh Chang has a pretty good record when it comes to having elephant calves born there. The most recent arrival popped into the world early morning on 3 January 2010. These photos were taken when he was about 48 hours old. He can suckle from his mother and walk, albeit it in a wobby, uncoordinated manner. But he’s still trying to figure out what the long dangly thing in the middle of his face is for.
How cute is that baby elephant :-)
Greetings from snowy England.
Beautiful little baby, What a shame that she will shortly be put in a crush cage and tortured for at least 3 days and made to trek which is a horrible life for an elephant. LEK, (Owner of the elephant nature park) constantly helps heal trek elephants and once healed they are returned to work. or Worse, Sold to a zoo and then they are tortured daily to perform unnatural tricks. See what they beat those animals with? A steel hook! It is so sad to consider the fate of the great elephant. We won’t even think about the ivory poacher.
