How is little Evaline doing?

The last time i saw her was in an episode of 'Echo and the Elephants of Amboseli'. She was a beautiful little elephant and i would love to know how she is now

Thank you

Status of Evaline

Evaline is alive and well. She is now three years and eight months old. Her mother Elettra is almost certainly carrying another calf that will probably be born sometime next year. When that calf arrives Evaline will be busy helping her mother take care of it. We call this behavior "allomothering". All immature females love babysitting the new calves.

Thank you

Thank you Cynthia. I am so glad that little Evaline i doing fine. It will be great for her to help care for any future sibling because this will help develop her mothering skills - and make Evaline a brilliant mother to her own calf one day!

Well, in Cynthia Moss's family History on the EB's, she listed Evaline in the current family so I would say Evaline is a little happy 2/3 year old!
