Baby Elephant Takes On Big Brother in A Playfight



This is the baby elephant Anjan Hi Way from the Chester zoo in Cheshire England who is having playfight with its brother Aayu Hi Way.
Chester zoo in Cheshire England was in for a surprise when the mom Thi Hi Way gave birth. She was 3 month overdue and returned to her normal weight making everyone believe she lost the baby, but to everybody’s surprise she managed to deliver this cute bundle of joy on the 17th of May 2018 at 3 am, after a 25 month pregnancy. She gave birth to a baby boy called Anjan Hi Way. In this video you can see Anjan Hi Way approaching his bigger half brother Aayu Hi Way. He isn’t too pleased and straight away knocks him over with his trunk. Another little push and then the newborn runs back to its mom. Later the big brother is pursuing Anjan again, but the little one is having none of it and pushes back. Even though he is only a fraction of his brother’s weight he stands his ground and keeps shoving back. He is definitely not an easy push over and doesn’t give up easily, but still Aayu manages to knock him off his feet again. The feisty baby turns around and shoves back again. Just typical sibling rivalry play.
Chester Zoo has got seven Elephants, incluing four calves in the herd of the Hi Way family. They are: Thi (born 24.04.1981), Sithami (born 31.12.1997) , Sundara ( born 07.03.2004), Nandita ( born 20.08.2015), Aayu ( born 18.01.2017), Indali (born 17.12.2016) and the new arrival Anjan. They also have Anjans dad Aung Bo (born 17.07.2001) and female Maya the oldest born 1966.
