Thanks for posting these new photos of Chieng Mai. I was also happy to read Dan's comment about Chieng Mai sleeping in the sand.

In other words we should expect some big celebrations in the zoo this year

Ref. your comment that Chieng Mai is one of three most productive bulls in Europe I can recommend to check out this family tree at Asian Elephants at the Zoological Gardens of the World

yeah unfortunately brahma died at 20 from TB.

But Chieng Mai is such an impressive bull, bull elephants I think are like fine wine as they age they become more majestic. Does anyone know how much he weighs and how tall he is?
