Any minute now
The Cologne zoo is expecting the birth of an elephant. The mother-to-be is called Kwaing Luin Htoo; she is an Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) like all the others here. The Cologne zoo only last year opened the largest elephant enclosure north of the Alps. It comes with all mod cons, apart from freedom.
Since December 27th, 2005 Kwaing Luin Htoo has been having contractions (imagine that! a whole week!). You can watch how she is doing on the Elefantcam of WDR television. Looks like it could happen any minute now!
