Thank you Patricia for bringing us this wonderful story and thank you Velvet for the link on updates! We have been keeping all our toes and paws crossed here too! The last thing we looked at last night and the first thing this morning was trying to get more info on how Mr. Shuffles is doing…so far so good. Aren’t elephant families great, though–the whole herd apparently gave up a meal to welcome the little one! Congratulations go to Mom Porntip for enduring such a long labor and being so trusting of her keepers and doctors.

Hugs from Sarsam

Good news comes in all sorts of packages. I’m so glad that the newborn elephant calf has the caring attention of the other elephants. He stands to make it ! Cheers & Hooray !

Big Elephant Hugs, Tish

PS: Thank you, Velvet, for the link.

Learning about that “Jumbo Error” as this event was called somewhere on Google news I was thrilled. All our fingers, toes, paws and hooves were crossed all night and prayers for the little one were whispered/purred/neighed too.
And first thing this morning I did was looking for an update on “Mr.Shuffles” ~ looks pretty good, but please look yourself

Keep on going, lil’fantje, all over the world hearts beat for you!

Dear Patricia
that is good news to hear from Sydney. I hope Porntip’s first baby will make it and can lead a healthy and happy life in this beautiful Taronga Zoo.
Porntip had been inseminated artificially by a Berlin Team of the Institute of Zoo Biology and Wildlife Research, so there is a link between Knut’s City and Sydney Zoo. Isn’t that also a Good Omen?
I pray for the little one that all goes well.
Thank you so much for this contribution
LG, caren

Dear Patricia,

I know I keep repeating myself but this is another proof that miracles do happen!!! I wish the little fantje a long and happy life. Of course, I wish a good life for the brave mommy, too!
