Despite no vital signs of life for several days, we now have obviously a healthy little calf on the ground
This little calf has been through an incredibly tough time ... There is no record anywhere else in the world ... of a labour that has gone this long. There is no recording of a calf being absolutely still for several days like this.
The looks of disbelief on our faces were quite a picture. We couldn't believe that this could be true
It settles in a few days ... the camera probably made the eyes look more red.
While this is incredible news, the young calf still has a long way to go. Our vets are now working to determine the possible effects of the protracted labour on the calf. There are no guarantees of its long-term survival at this early stage but we hope that its birth against the odds will stand it in go...
Both he and his mother are well and will be staying in the warm barn today
The other elephants, including the zoo's other calf, eight-month old Luk Chai, will be in the exhibit today with access to the barn so they can spend as much time as they wish with the pair.
Dedicated keepers reported the amazing news early this morning that the calf had been born and was showing signs of life
When the keepers learned the calf had survived, the looks of disbelief were quite a picture
He said the birth will completely re-write the elephant birth text-books
Should the calf be born alive, it would be a miracle
That unconscious state would explain the complete absence of any vital signs during all the checks and examinations we conducted during the labour
Porntip is already showing signs of being an excellent mother, trying to help him suckle although he hasn’t quite managed to suckle yet
She’s in good health and has been getting to know her calf, gently touching the young animal with her trunk
The calf has already had some contact with the other elephants in the herd, touching trunks with the older females and also the zoo’s first calf, Luk Chai, an eight-month old male
The keeper saw the baby on the ground beside Porntip and went over expecting it to be dead ... But it was alive, breathing, and our vets were called straight away.
Advice from Dr Hildebrandt is that such an outcome after a protracted labour has never been seen before
Keepers and veterinarians became aware in the early hours that despite round-the-clock care, the calf has not survived the labour
Although we all knew that first deliveries are successful in only 50 per cent of elephant births, everyone at the zoo was hoping that our second birth would be successful . . . even though they knew the risks, the elephant keepers and veterinarians have been very distressed by the outcome.
Oh my God, Jonathan, Summer just drank your methadone!
She just drank watered-down heroin ... I don't think she will die.
