Comments / pictures


At birth, the zoo thought they were a male but later determined Rama to be a female. A video about this was posted on their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=708820580267582

That post also mentioned that Achara and Kai are Rama's sisters, which also means that Rex is her dad.

Lastly, here is a more recent post from early this year, noting Rama's second birthday with some great photos of her included: https://www.facebook.com/okczoo/posts/rama-is-a-terrific-two-years-old-today-join-us-in-wishing-our-youngest-elephant-/699446905642690/
