It was on Friday, March 26, that the African elephant Panzi gave birth to the calf, which was well received by the herd.

But when another calf was born at the zoo earlier this week, the situation changed.

The first-born calf was abandoned and despite both the veterinarian and the animal keeper trying to save the calf, it did not succeed.

"Her body could not take it anymore and she had to fall asleep."

We are all very sad but at the same time try to rejoice that the new calf seems alert and alert.

He is a valuable addition to the work of strengthening the population and also paying attention to all the challenges elephants face in the wild. ", Writes in a post on Instagram.
