ZSL Whipsnade Zoo is trumpeting a brand new arrival – a 20 stone Asian elephant calf. Three-week-old Max was born at 5am on 12 October to second-time mum Karishma, measuring three feet tall and weighing in at a hefty 129.5kg. Keeper Stefan Groeneveld said: “Max has come on so much in just three weeks and is already showing an independent streak. He’ll happily leave his mum’s side to go and play in the paddock with the rest of the herd. Max shares Whipsnade’s seven acre paddock with nine other elephants – including brother George, aged three, and half siblings Donna, four, and Scott, two – and is an important addition to the European Endangered species Programme (EEP) for Asian elephants
