Miracle Elephant Twins Yaad and Tukada Celebrate Their First Birthday

October 26, 2023

It's a celebration like no other in the animal kingdom as we mark a momentous occasion – the first birthday of the extraordinary elephant twins, Yaad and Tukada!

Born on October 24, 2022, this dynamic duo's arrival was nothing short of a wildlife miracle. The birth of elephant twins is an incredibly rare occurrence, with less than 1% of all elephant births resulting in twins.

What makes this story even more extraordinary is that, up until their birth, there had never been a case of surviving twin elephant calves in any North American zoo.
