Comments / pictures

Atlas was consistently smaller and skinnier than his twin sister, and had a groove/notch on his left ear.

Always by Angelina’s side, he was much less bold than his twin sister.

2022: An extremely rare baby elephant twin has starved to death in Kenya during a prolonged drought. The calf's mother, a 36-year-old elephant called Angelina, who lives in the Amboseli National Park gave birth to twins, a male and a female, in 2020. In a statement on Facebook, Amboseli Trust for Elephants, which monitors the elephants in the reserve, said it was the male twin that had died.
