UK-based renowned Chester Zoo houses a wide range of animal species such as giraffes, lions, tigers, primates, reptiles, elephants, crocodiles and many more.
The zoo, which boasts over 20000 animals and 128 acres of zoological gardens, has a large enclosure for Asian elephants that are made according to their habitat needs. Elephant calves keep this enclosure alive with their playful antics.
The zoo has an elephant calf named ‘Anjan’ which keeps visitors, other elephants and animal keepers busy with his playful nature.
It is unknown to many people in Assam and northeast India that the elephant calf, born on May 17, 2018, is named after an Assam-based conservationist, Anjan Baruah, now working as an official in ‘Aaranyak’, one of India’s foremost biodiversity conservation organisations based in Guwahati.
On May 17, Anjan, the elephant, turned 5 years old and the zoo has been awash with joy.
Elephant Anjan’s father Aung Bo, is also with him, who was relocated to Chester Zoo from Sevilla Exotic Animals Reserve located in Spain.
Little Anjan’s mother Thi Ha Way died in September 2020 due to arthritis problems as per the reports of the zoo authority.
