Gerry Creighton, Operations Manager at Dublin Zoo said the arrival of the zoo's eleventh elephant was a very special moment for all involved:
"It is with immense pride that we announce the birth of the latest addition to the Asian elephant herd here at Dublin Zoo.
"The birth of an Asian elephant is an amazing spectacle and this was no exception. The arrival of the calf was greeted with celebratory trumpeting and each member of the herd, from the oldest to youngest, played a role in assisting with the birth".
The team at Dublin Zoo are eager to hear the public's suggestions for the baby calf's name and you can submit ideas here.
