At Ayutthaya Elephant Palace and Royal Kraal you will find four youngsters. The oldest born in October -09 and the youngest on 29 th. March -10. The Kraal has the most successful captive breeding program in the world.. As more elephants are dying
than being born every year, it is imperative that their birth rate increases. Since 2000 the Kraal has successfully bred more than 40 elephants. The philosophy is simple, healthy, happy elephant breed. One of the most important and unique aspects of the breeding program is to breed elephants for temperament and structure. Thus the breeding is only with suitable males that ensure the calves will display characteristics that easily interigate with humans. My greatest joy is to visit at "bathing time" in the afternoons. It is difficult to explain the feeling, so you would be best adviced to come along and find out for yourself !!
The details I have used are written by the Ladies in charge, Ewa Narkiewicz and Michelle Reedy.
