 Special
Picture / Ging Mai's Bio
This is without doubt the hardest report I have had to pen and it
fills my heart with sadness to recall the death of this beautiful
infant. We await medical findings and this information will be made
available when there is anything to report. On Friday night (22 Nov)
Ging Mai was healthy, happy and full of the natural curiosity of an
inquisitive infant.
The following day he became weak and unable to stand. Despite round
the clock supervision his condition grew steadily worse until his
final passing in the early hours of Sunday.
Since his rescue in December last year, Ging Mai became a loved
symbol of elephant freedom for visitors and volunteers alike from
around the world. His friendly and affectionate manner left an
indelible mark on those lucky to have spent time with him and his
shock death will be mourned in dozens of countries. We are unsure of
the reasons why an apparently healthy infant would become critically
sick in such a sudden manner. The tests results were inconclusive.
