Meet Daizy, the second Asian elephant born at Albuquerques Rio Grande Zoo! The first was her mother Rozie, who carried Daizy for a committed 22 months, the typical gestation period for elephants. Classified as endangered, elephants are targeted in a number of conservation efforts, one of which is the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Elephant Species Survival Plan, that works to boost elephant reproduction efforts in North American zoos and wildlife centers. The Association has designated the Albuquerque Biological Park as an Elephant Breeding Facility, with the result of the anticipated, healthy birth of their latest calf Daizy.
