Taronga's Elephant Calf

[biofh]

Hey, that's great! But a "miracle"? A baby someone 'thought' might be dead or in a coma was born. A miracle is an actually dead baby elephant coming back to life.

Miracle is not a synonym for "unexpected". If it were, we'd have a saint of "getting paid a day early" and a saint of "finding a fiver in the laundry".

A baby elephant who might have died in birth who did not die in birth is an awesome thing already. We don't need it made all supernatural to appreciate it. Sheesh...

Congratulations to Porntip and all the dedicated staff in Taronga Zoo!

It warms the heart to see such miracles of birth.

We pray the little elephant will survive and grow into a strong elephant.
