Elephant twins are a very rare occurrence, although few incidences have been recorded in the Amboseli National Park. In 2020, Ms. Angelina delivered a set of twins; a male and a female. It was touch and go for them their first year because it is difficult for a female to produce enough milk for two calves. The twin-boy would try to drink all of mama’s milk, so the girl would coax him to play until he got exhausted, then she’d run and suckle as he slept. The newborns became emaciated and it was doubtful that they would survive beyond six months. Fortunately, elephant calves are weaned with vegetation at between 3 & 4 months. By 7-8 months they tend to be really good feeders, supplementing their mother’s milk. These twins reached their first birthday in February 2021 and are brimming with health. Their chances of survival are excellent.
