    It's the first in 8 years - and the first in the new elephant house. The birth went well and was quick.

    The mother is Kungrao and she gave birth with the other female elephants present.

    Female elephant Surin gave birth to a stillborn female calf, the cause of it's en-utero death was deemed to be a heart defect.
