At the Royal Elephant Kraal Village in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya district, a 36-year-old elephant named Chamchuree gave birth to rare twin calves on Friday night.
The twins, one male weighing 80kg and one female weighing 60kg, are a significant addition to the Kraal’s record of 95 births in 27 years.
The father of the twins is a 29-year-old elephant named Siam.
