38-year-old elephant to give birth
Zoo staff practice getting Asha, an Asian elephant due to give birth in the fall of 2016, into a container at Zoo & Botanical Park in Toyohashi, central Japan, on Oct. 16, 2015, ahead of her trip to a zoo in Ichihara, eastern Japan. Her rearers sent her to the Ichihara zoo in the carrier on Oct. 21 to ensure a calm environment for giving birth, which will take place during the park's renovation work. Asha, estimated to be 38 years old, or the human equivalent of her late 40s, will be the oldest Asian elephant to give birth in Japan. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
