Orycteropus

Only half of the African Elephant herd

The first successful birth of an African Elephant in Britain was at Howletts WAP in 1982, and, since then, a further nine calf have been born.
 
it's just great to see a family of elephants, does the one with the promenent tusks have a floppy ear?
 
They generally keep the number around 14 or 15. There are also two cows from this herd at Port Lympne, a mother and daughter (one of the original females from Israel that arrived pregnant and her now adult resulting calf).
