Chester Zoo has lost seven baby elephants.

The Houston Zoo has lost two.

So has the zoo in Dublin, Ireland.

Even in Antwerp, the zoo has had casualties.

What are we talking about? We’re talking about elephant calves lost, over the past decade, to elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV).

We’re starting with dead elephants, but this post gets better. It has to. It’s always about good things. Share it!
