Baby Asian Elephant's Birth Welcomed By Herd Trumpets (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

Baby Asian Elephant Qiyo was born to mother Phyo Phyo at Planckendael in Belgium, as five female herdmates surround her, welcoming the calf with a trumpeting sound similar to how calves are delivered in the wild

Meanwhile, Chang, Qiyo's father, was not present for the birth, but the zoo staff will introduce him to Qiyo very soon.

Asian Elephants survive in small forests that are scattered across Southeast Asia and are listed as Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
