NATURE | Naledi: One Little Elephant: Official Trailer | PBS
April 15, 2020
Kiti, a gentle elephant in Botswana, was in her 661st day of pregnancy, a normal gestation period, when she finally gave birth to a baby girl. Perhaps because the calf was born at night, they called her Naledi, which means star in the local language. Naledi was an instant hit with the Abu Camp caretakers including elephant manager Wellington (Wellie) Jana who compared her arrival to getting a new daughter in the family.
