British Wildlife Park Howletts (Howletts Wild Animal Park), near Canterbury, celebrates the birth of a new elephant. This lovely baby, born a week ago, is doing well and is already communicating with the rest of the herd.

The mother of the elephant was an African elephant named Tammi, and the father was the 37-year-old elephant Jams, who is the oldest elephant in the British wildlife park.
In the second photo, taken by photographer Damian Aspinall, the newborn baby elephant is only a few hours old, but is already standing firmly on his feet, clutching tightly to the leg of his big mother.
“We are all very happy that we have a new elephant,” says the photographer. She's a girl and has the same affable temper as her mother Tammy. Our herd of African elephants is one of the largest in the UK and even in Europe, so we are very proud of our success in breeding these beautiful animals.
It is worth noting that two of the three elephant cubs born in the UK were born in Howlets Park. And the 37-year-old elephant Jams is the real pride of this wildlife park. Jams weighs more than 6 tons, and its height is more than three meters. To date, he is the father of 18 elephant cubs – a real hero father!
“The elephant Tammy is the fifth calf,” says Natalie Boyd, elephant caretaker. Tammy is a beautiful and caring mother. She has excellent health, so we think she will give life to more than one elephant.
Howletts Wildlife Park is almost 40 hectares of excellent parkland located near Canterbury in Kent. Howlets is considered one of the best places for British people who like to come here with the whole family. The park was established by John Aspinall in 1974 to conserve and breed rare and endangered species and return them to the wild.
Howletts Wild Animal Park opened to the public in 1975. It contains a huge number of animals from all over the globe – elephants, primates, large wild cats, numerous ungulates and reptiles. And they all get along well in one place.
