Our first elephant birth at Chiang Mai Elephant Land!
Mo Phror Mae, a 17 year old female who came to us at one year into her pregnancy has finally given birth. After several false alarms over the previous month, and many sleepless nights, the arrival of Mo Phror Mae’s calf followed a loud trumpet call in the early hours of the 14th October. As her mahout scrambled through the jungle, he arrived to find mum already helping her newborn son take his first steps. We have named the calf ‘Horton’ after the kind-hearted fictional elephant character of Dr Zeuss. Horton is thriving on the attention from all the elephants.
Every day is a new adventure for Horton as he now follows the herd through the jungle, and runs around the visitors. Horton is the first elephant to be born at Chiang Mai Elephant Land and it is a joy to watch him play and attempt to master new skills as he copys his mum.
