I keep watching off and on and don't know if it has been born yet. I see other elephants in the cage, but none look like a baby..but then I don't know how large a newborn baby is? Very interesting to see the elephants...one of my favorite critters. Thanks for the link. I'm still watching.

I'm still watching as well. Don't think it's happened yet since the camera is still going.

I see two elephants but I don't think one of them is the baby! It's neat that you can watch it live!

Thank you, I know the mother is ready, I can't imagine being pregnant for the length of time an elephant is

**sdevries** · May 16th, 2009

baby still isn't there! there are 3 elephants and one is pregnant. the others are inthere for support to the new mom. can you imagion elephants are pregnant for 22 months OMG !!!!!

**MaryEHenry** · May 16th, 2009

I really enjoyed being preggo but 22 months might be a bit too much. I wonder if they get uncomfortable like humans. Human bellies get so large in proportion to their bodies. Cna you see that the elephant is pregnant?

Me too, surely that little one can't be the baby. All I can say is OUCH if it is!

She seems to be getting tired.

Poor 'Mum' looks exhausted already, I think the young one is sibling to the new baby - there is definitely a strong bond there.
I'm going back to watch some more.

I wonder if that is 'dad' pacing up and down outside the enclosure?

**MaryEHenry** · May 16th, 2009

There are three soon to be four

I saw one laying down so I assume that was the preggo one

**MaryEHenry** · May 16th, 2009

I want to see it! I can't believe I am staring at an elephant video so long hehe!

**windstar** · May 16th, 2009

Seems like ti takes as long to have it as it does to cary it. I couldn't do it.

can't get away from my pc lol but think i have to go to bed soon. think the baby will be born when i'm in bed. But all i know is that mom is having a hard time at the moment and the little one that is around her is 3 years old now and drinking milk so the nipples wont get to tense for mom cute isn't it? hope i will see the birth

**MaryEHenry** · May 16th, 2009

crap I missed it

**MaryEHenry** · May 16th, 2009

I think LOL

**watermelon** · May 16th, 2009

Had errands to run and just checked to see what was going on with the baby, I don't think it's born yet and the mommy is very still in the video. Yikes.
