      The youngest elephant I have ever seen. Mother Sundara, father Aung Bo. Fortunately the weather was very mild, so the herd could be allowed outside. I presume that this made it easier for the keepers to clean the indoor quarters. It also made it easier for visitors to see the calf and for photographers to shoot a lot of happy snaps.
      Elephant paddock, Chester.
