We’ve Made History - Asian Elephant Mali Delivers Miracle Twins!
When we first announced the pregnancy of Asian elephant Mali, we assumed our herd of six Asian elephants would become seven. That’s not quite what happened… because we not only welcomed the seventh member of our Asian elephant herd – but our eighth. Mali had twins! For the past two weeks, the elephant care team has been monitoring the twins around the clock to ensure both are thriving. Elephant twins comprise less than 1% of elephant births worldwide. To date, there has never been a recorded case of surviving elephant twins in the United States. The few successful twin births have only taken place in their range countries in Asia and Africa and nowhere else in the world.
