African Elephants in Europe 2021

Looks like Yambo has bred one of the cows at Beekse Bergen already! Correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like it’s Pina Nessie. Hopefully she, her mom, and sister Bongi all fall pregnant soon!

 
It would be a really good news for the european program ! Isn't Pina Nessie a little bit too young to breed now ?
 
It definitely looks like he was "in there". Fingers crossed for a successful outcome!

Also Piña Nessi is fine, she's 8 years old, the perfect age to conceive for a first calf. And think, if it wasn't Yambo, it would be Calimerio, a much older bull who has 3-4000 (if not more) pounds and a significantly larger build over Yambo.

This is amazing news it's only been a few months that Yambo arrived at Beekse Bergen and he has all ready mated with Pina Nessie and hopefully Punda and Bongi soon

It's pleasant, but not all that surprising. Assuming you lined things up right, and with a bit of luck, you could transfer a good bull to a facility, and have him successfully breed a cow and get her pregnant less than a week after he arrives.

Now the real wait begins to see if everyone is fertile!
