ELEPHANT NAMED ALKA GAVE BIRTH TO TWINS

Pigs, goats, etc. have more than one baby in the same birth. Many women have twins.

However, elephants are not known to do it One reason may be that the baby has to have a large quantity of milk for its elephantine growth.
So when Alka of the Orang National Park in Assam gave birth to two female babies on 16-12-2010, it created history. The mahaut (keeper of the elephant) kept vigil throughout the night, as tigers can eat the new born calves.
