    I notice there is neither a topic for this zoo nor the country of Turkey listed for discussion. Here is a new article at ShowMe Elephants regarding the birth of the first elephant for the country at the Izmir Sasali Wildlife Park.

    It's a female according to the asianelephant.net database.

    The newborn calf is a female and was named Izmir, after the city she was born. Recent pictures can be found at p://goo.gl/bMZJY
