Elephant Htoo Yin Aye is pregnant and we have an ultrasound!

On Thursday, September 21, we already announced that our elephant Htoo Yin Aye is pregnant. Today is an extra festive day because we have an ultrasound of the little elephant! Are you watching?

Our Asian elephant Htoo Yin Aye has been pregnant for over a year and she still has about 7 months to go. So in the summer of 2018 we are expecting a little elephant in Eindhoven Zoo! Mother is doing extremely well and so today we can see that the little elephant is also doing well.

The other day a veterinarian performed an ultrasound on Htoo Yin Aye. This is important to do so that, as with humans, we can see if everything is going well with both mother and little one. Zookeeper Stephan tells all about making this ultrasound and takes you through the whole process.
