Baby Elephant Born in San Diego

With the current controversies surrounding elephants in captivity, this is in the "pro" camp. A male baby elephant was born in the San Diego Wild Animal Park. It is doing well and nursing. This is the sixth elephant born to a herd that was brought from Swaziland in 2003. Five have survived. The San Diego Wild Animal park is about 35 miles North East of the San Diego Zoo, in the wide open spaces of Escondido.
