SYRACUSE N.Y. (CNN) – A zoo in New York made history with its two new additions.
The Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse welcomed male Asian elephant twins on Oct. 24.
The first calf was delivered at 2 a.m., weighing in at 220 pounds. The second one was born 10 hours later at 237 pounds.
Both mom and babies are doing well.
The zoo says twins make up less than 1% of elephant births worldwide.
Until these two, there haven’t been any successful twin births in the U.S.
