A tragic incident occurred at Borås Zoo, where a newborn elephant calf died shortly after birth.

The calf, born to the elephant Panzi, became trapped in a distressing situation involving interaction with the herd.

Zoo officials, including zoologist Johan Jönsson, express deep sadness over the incident and are focusing on providing care for another calf born recently.

This marks the second time a newborn elephant has died at the zoo, with a previous incident in 2021 involving a calf being ostracized from the herd.
