Asian elephants are making headlines after a rare 25-year gap calf birth at the Smithsonian, Linh Mai, now drawing attention to the species.
A female Asian elephant named Linh Mai has been born at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, marking the first calf in 25 years. Her mother, Nhi Linh, initially shows aggression, leading to her being bottle-fed and cared for by her aunt, Swarna. The zoo encourages viewers to watch her on the elephant cam.
