1965 Press Photo Tristan The Sea Elephant Watches Over His Baby

Quite it looks like Daddy, isn't it?... asks Tristan, the Sea-Elephant of the Stuttgarter Wilhelma (zoo), and don't loose the sight of his baby. His "Father-pride" is not causeless. Only the Stuttgarter Wilhelma, no other zoo was able to keep alive a Sea-Elephant-Baby more than 24 hours till now. Tristan's baby already is more than four weeks old and weighs about 30 kgs. The zoo-direction of the Wilhelma hopes to pull the baby through with the help of a special diet.
