A Sumatran elephant is born at Madrid Zoo and reinforces the conservation of a subspecies that is critically endangered
La cría forma parte del programa europeo de reproducción de una población animal que ha perdido cerca del 69% de su hábitat en las últimas tres décadas
The Madrid Zoo Aquarium celebrated on Thursday on its social networks the birth of a Sumatran Asian elephant calf, one of the most threatened elephant subspecies on the planet. The male, who weighs between 80 and 90 kilos, was born on Wednesday shortly after 2 pm after a delivery of just twenty minutes and is in good health, according to the zoo. The birth represents a new boost to the European conservation program for a species classified as critically endangered.
