Elephants breeding in captivity helps to keep the population up. It is really nice that the Taronga Zoo in Australia is trying to breed Asian Elephants. The birth of the calf in a near dead condition was initially shocking to hear. I am so glad to note that "Mr. Shuffle" as they affectionately call the baby elephant has recovered and has a good chance of survival. I pray for his continued well being. I hope he grows up to be a strong Elephant like his mother. I congratulate the Zoo Keepers and the Veterinarians for their good work. I do wish someday Mr. Shuffle will be returned to his habitat in the wild.
