The facts sofar:
Calvin shall stay in Hannover for now but eventually he has to go to prevent inbreeding with his two five years old daughters. But there is no hurry. In the meanwhile he can stay together with Nikolai. Calvin is a candidate for Munster Zoo. Chamundi should go to Ostrava but because there is no hurry it is not definitive yet. In Munster Calvin can breed with the young females Corny, Ratna and Bala. |

Untbwe do you have further answers about the stillbirth of the elephant cow Shu Thu zar in colonge zoo? Aparently there is a possibliy that it belonged to Aye Chan May because of the body size and mummification.
So that means that she could still be pregnant and give birth any time now. Sorry its old news, |

Khiang Hin Hin of Hannover Zoo gave again birth to a male calf on May 6. His name is yet unknown
You can see a movie of the birth and some pictures made afterwards on the website of Hannover Zoo Elefantenbaby - Zoo Hannover |

@Dragon: You really need to take into consideration that the plans regarding the bull transfers (Chamundi, Calvin ect...) are just "plans", suggestions by the EEP and /or the zoos. Nothing is firm until the bull is standing in the crate! So if someone has the info that Calvin is going to Ostrava and another person says he is going to Munster, both can be right because this may be the different options discussed by the zoos and the EEP.

We´d all love to get accurate information, but how is that possible when the EEP and the zoos involved have not yet made a final decision? You need to be patient, as diificult as it is.
About the Hannover calf, he is 140 kg, which is pretty big. He is not tall, but not at all skinny! |

140 kg! Well, the average weight for bulls is around 125, so he is a big calf. For example: Ananda of Emmen was 130 at birth.
@Ashley-h: What Khaing is doing is normal procedure with elephants. She is kicking him to see if he's alive and she wants him to stand up. As you can imagine that's important in the wild. Baby elephants are very vulnerable and a prey for lions, tigers etc. What I don't like is that she was standing alone in a box. It is normal to have some experienced mothers around to help with the delivery. Zoos like Emmen and Rotterdam have proved that births can take place within the herd or at least with one other female in the same box like Amsterdam did. On a video of the birth of Yindee you clearly can see how Win Thida is giving the final push to mother Thong Tai. Last year in Amersfoort all went wrong because granmother Khine War War was kicking the baby to see if it was alive but didn't stop. She couldn't make the switch between agressive kicking and taking care for the baby. As you can see on this video Khaing Hnin Hnin switched to gentle care and is helping the baby with getting up. After 2.5 hours he had his first milk from mother. Hannover however is also performing with the elephants. I hate it. And this little one must be a new circus clown.
