Noorjahan, who lives at the Leicestershire Zoo, was inseminated from a bull elephant based at Whipsnade Wildlife park in Bedfordshire.

The baby elephant, who was born on Thursday morning, will be named by a public competition in about a week's time. Noorjahan arrived at the zoo ...

"If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know," says Nancy Carpenter, the Hogle Zoo veterinarian caring for the African elephant.
