Very sad news. If the second calf was born a week later, it might not have happened. The first calf was a cow, the second calf is a bull.

I uploaded approximately 80 photos from Boras Zoo into the gallery. A comprehensive review of the zoo will appear on my Snowleopard's 2022 Road Trip: Denmark, Sweden & Norway thread.
On Nov. 2 a Southern white rhino was born at Boras

Herd would be a better pick rather than flock, I believe flock is used for birds.Panzi gave birth yesterday, but the calf passed away shortly after birth, Borås says it got squeezed when the other members of the flock interacted with it (If thats the right word to use, unsure since i’m translating directly from Swedish..)
Sad news, although I'm glad to see you are keeping us updated on this lovely park @Keiikoa , thanks for that <3

That's very sad after such along wait for all, inculding Panzi,
knew what you meant with flock, but yes herd is the normal term.
Borås zoo has gotten a new Carphatian lynx pair, the old eurasian lynx pair has also been euthanised because of signs of aging.

Also looking for this information...in particular a lion named Kossi that was born in 2021 and transferred from Zoo Leipzig. I'm trying to build his family tree and cannot find any information on him after he left Leipzig.
I am not sure if this statement really holds up (even though it is now several years old).
This calf was rejected at birth by the cow, and cow elephants do this with reason. If the calf was less viable - if at all in this case - the mother's response would be to reject as they have a natural instinct for this ... (whether this is evolutionary response or other given the large investment in gestation and raising a newborn calf to Independence.., there being nothing wrong in itself with motivering skills of the mother.
True further that by and large primiparous cows with a calf have a greater chance not for the calf will not survive in the first place. Panzi being "in" for her second calf ... probably had a good reason to not to take care of the calf after first inspection.
Finally, I would expect cow Panzi to possibly/probably be pregnant by now... again (???).
