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.

Does anyone know if it is male or female?

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
