The zoo's keepers are interviewed in each episode about the various animals and incidents, whether it's orangutans escaping their enclosure or tigers getting into scraps. In this episode "Courtship of the Jaguars" Season 3 Episode 7: the Asian elephant, Sithami, gives birth to male calf, Aayu. Giraffe calf, Murchison, won't go outside, and a female Chameleon arrives from Paris.

Unfortunately, Nandita and Aayu died in 2018 of Elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV), an illness endemic in Asian elephants which primarily effects calves, is VERY fast-acting, and usually lethal even when detected and treated early on. Another calf, Indali, got sick in 2019 but lived, one of the few calves to survive the disease. Chester Zoo is currently contributing in the development of a vaccine against EEHV, not only to protect zoo elephants, but their wild countreparts as well. Asian elephant are already Endangered, this disease is one of the many threats that puts their survival in jeopardy.

I hope they succeed in developing a vaccine, that's so heartbreaking to the keepers who work so hard and the other elephants losing family members

I like how they all support the mother. That’s amazing. Cute that the, now, older baby was jealous and even kicked the new baby. That was funny. Mom, tired of the antics, finally pushes her away and slaps her with her trunk. I like to observe their discipline techniques. They’re very effective.

Horrible that they are in a zoo without the true life of an elephant. They should be at a reserve.

@AlmaWadeCrymsm Жыл бұрын

They live a great life and are well taken care of. Places like these are trying hard to keep the species alive.
