“Syracuse’s Zoo is looking forward to two elephant births. Targa, whose now 8-year old baby Mali captured Central New Yorkers’ hearts, is due any day. Romani is due next spring. In both cases, the father is the Rosamond Gifford Zoo’s bull elephant, Indy.
Zoo Curator Chuck Doyle has been saying for years that we need a population explosion to keep the endangered Asian Elephants viable, because most of the animals in zoos are older than breeding age, and the population is dying off faster than it can reproduce.” - WSTM
