Emily Kate, Born Free’s young adopted elephant in Kenya, has just given birth to her very first calf — a male. Emily Kate’s mother was Echo, a remarkable “matriarch” elephant who died of old age in 2009. Fortunately Emily Kate has a large family to help her at this important time, including older sisters who are experienced mothers. Learn more about Emily Kate here (PDF).
