He still looks a little freaked out. But he is cute.

It's been so sad though watching her try to hurt her baby. I hope it starts to go better with the reintroduction, hearing that little guy cry for his Mom is just heart breaking!

Is it common for elephant moms to be aggressive to their own babies?
He's so cute! How can she want to hurt him?? ![]()

Elephant mothers do usually kick their newborns, to get them breathing, standing and moving around. Rose-Tu went a bit further than that and that's when the staff moved in. Re-introduction is proceeding. The two have controlled access to each other, and Rose-Tu is being rewarded for nurturing behavior. At this point the baby has successfully nursed, so that's a very good sign. Bottle and tube feeding is also continuing. Access to the barn is strictly restricted. Most observations are by closed-circuit. I haven't had a chance to talk to any of the staff involved, but they are happy and exhausted! The zoo was pretty quiet today, considering. We're holding our breath for the day the calf goes on exhibit. That's when all hell breaks loose for us! |

Wow. How exciting to help her learn how to be a mommy! I guess it would be a little frightening, to not know how to do this.
