A healthy baby Asian elephant was born at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo on Tuesday.

The calf, a male, is the second calf born to the female Asian elephant Mali and bull elephant Doc.

The baby weighed 267 pounds and measured three feet tall.

“Asian elephants are critically endangered in the wild, so it’s a huge accomplishment to be able to breed them in human care,” County Executive Ryan McMahon said.

The zoo is in the midst of a construction plan to expand its Asian Elephant Preserve from 4.5 acres to 6 acres and improve viewing access.
