the right of that big beautiful female just at her feet
tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny little baby see
tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny little baby see there
so that little one looks to me like it
so that little one looks to me like it can almost still fit under mom’s belly
and then wait for them to come out I
and then wait for them to come out I can’t
Proud cat mama you’re wondering how much
Proud cat mama you’re wondering how much is an average elephant calf weigh at
is an average elephant calf weigh at
is an average elephant calf weigh at birth between 100 and 120 kilograms
birth between 100 and 120 kilograms
birth between 100 and 120 kilograms great question this little one here is
great question this little one here is
great question this little one here is flapping its ears quite a bit but not
flapping its ears quite a bit but not
flapping its ears quite a bit but not hugely just waiting it’s standing up and
hugely just waiting it’s standing up and
hugely just waiting it’s standing up and a little bit higher than what I thought
a little bit higher than what I thought
a little bit higher than what I thought was mom but could be auntie there’s
was mom but could be auntie there’s
was mom but could be auntie there’s another adult back there so I just want
another adult back there so I just want
another adult back there so I just want to check usually the rule of thumb is
to check usually the rule of thumb is
to check usually the rule of thumb is when she fits under the belly it’s still
when she fits under the belly it’s still
when she fits under the belly it’s still less than six months in anything sort of
less than six months in anything sort of
less than six months in anything sort of over the belly to over six months but it
over the belly to over six months but it
over the belly to over six months but it changes everything comes in small medium
changes everything comes in small medium
changes everything comes in small medium and large but they’re pregnant for 22
and large but they’re pregnant for 22
and large but they’re pregnant for 22 months so by the time 22 months is up
months so by the time 22 months is up
months so by the time 22 months is up you can see those females are hugely
you can see those females are hugely
you can see those females are hugely uncomfortable and then yeah one hundred
uncomfortable and then yeah one hundred
uncomfortable and then yeah one hundred one hundred kilograms so that’s real
one hundred kilograms so that’s real
one hundred kilograms so that’s real that’s roughly two to one two pounds so
that’s roughly two to one two pounds so
that’s roughly two to one two pounds so it’s over 200 pounds it’s a big baby
so something you’ll notice with these
so something you’ll notice with these ones that are feeding here is they don’t
ones that are feeding here is they don’t
ones that are feeding here is they don’t have wet feet or wet trunks so they
have wet feet or wet trunks so they
have wet feet or wet trunks so they haven’t come to drink yet who’s thinking

get a lot of different species of cuckoo
get a lot of different species of cuckoo in this area now this is one of the gray
in this area now this is one of the gray

there is a few of the
there is a few of the birds that we get out yeah or
birds that we get out yeah or
birds that we get out yeah or particularly the cuckoo species that are
particularly the cuckoo species that are
particularly the cuckoo species that are gray in coloration and they are
gray in coloration and they are
gray in coloration and they are difficult to identify and to tell which
difficult to identify and to tell which
difficult to identify and to tell which one is which and I’m going to show you
one is which and I’m going to show you

cuckoo is this individual over here
cuckoo is this individual over here which is what I think that bird was I
which is what I think that bird was I
which is what I think that bird was I didn’t see too much yellow around the
didn’t see too much yellow around the
didn’t see too much yellow around the base of the beak you can see there’s
base of the beak you can see there’s
base of the beak you can see there’s quite a dark beak on the common cuckoo
quite a dark beak on the common cuckoo
quite a dark beak on the common cuckoo was so quite a heavenly spotted tail and
was so quite a heavenly spotted tail and
was so quite a heavenly spotted tail and barred with a little white trim on the

cuckoo like I said I didn’t get a really
cuckoo like I said I didn’t get a really good look at the beef but it didn’t look
good look at the beef but it didn’t look
good look at the beef but it didn’t look like it had very much yellow in it at
like it had very much yellow in it at
like it had very much yellow in it at all the other one that we get sure is
all the other one that we get sure is
all the other one that we get sure is the African cuckoo so you can see the
the African cuckoo so you can see the
the African cuckoo so you can see the African cuckoo very similar in
African cuckoo very similar in
African cuckoo very similar in coloration to the common cuckoo but it
coloration to the common cuckoo but it

has a lot more yellow on that B Kover
has a lot more yellow on that B Kover there and so that’s how you tell the
