It is a welcome news for every zoo to add a new member to its institution, but sad events will not be avoided.
The female of the Leipzig Zoo suddenly died. Once upon a time, she had such a pregnancy that the birth had stopped. This means that the calf was not born, but the fetus cannot be removed by surgery, as in the case of humans. After the incident, she was subjected to a series of treatments and later became pregnant, but was interrupted because it would have been dangerous to carry her baby to life.
And now his circulation had suddenly collapsed, causing his sudden death. His autopsy revealed what caused his death and also his twin pregnancy. Twin elephants are very rare in elephants anyway. However, if twin calves are born, there is a good chance that the calves, but even the mother, will die.
