Kingdom: Elephants
built 618 days ago
Last month, veterinarians and elephant managers at Disney's Animal Kingdom were deeply saddened after they determined that another pregnant African elephant named Robin lost her calf in the womb. Robin was in labor off and on for two days, and many unsuccessful attempts were made to induce productive labor until it was concluded that the calf had died. One other elephant at Disney's Animal Kingdom is pregnant and is expected to give birth next summer.
