Head of the elephant program, Steve Lefave, described the birth as smooth with mother Rose-Tu facilitating her calf's initial steps. Zookeepers are allowing bonding time but remain positive about her nursing and development. The zoo continues to focus on conservation efforts for the critically endangered Asian elephant, which faces significant threats from habitat loss and human conflict.
