Pregnant elephant Htoo Yin Aye gets final echo

At Eindhoven Zoo, people are anxiously awaiting the birth of an Asian elephant. Mother Htoo Yin Aye is now heavily pregnant and so the calf could be born at any moment. To see if everything is going well with the calf, Htoo Yin Aye, who is now about 22 months pregnant, was given an ultrasound.

The ultrasound was performed by a veterinarian specialized in performing ultrasounds on animals. She was assisted by four animal caretakers and Eindhoven Zoo's veterinarian. Htoo Yin Aye and her calf look healthy. The little elephant could be born any moment, but it could also take another month before Htoo Yin Aye gives birth.
