Endangered Baby Elephant

After a six hour labor mother Tamar gave birth to a healthy 198 pound baby Asian elephant in the Jerusalem’s Biblical Zoo.

In the first event of its kind in Israel's history, the endangered baby elephant is the first to be born in Israel. Because of being raised in captivity, Zookeepers were concerned that Tamar would not bond with her new baby. However, the mother and child quickly bonded.

The Biblical Zoo currently is home to one male and four female Asian elephants. Their names are Teddy, Susan, Avigail, Michaela and Tamar. Open to the public throughout the year, the Biblical Zoo displays animals mentioned in the Bible alongside specific passages referring to them.
