Kina

Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)

Female, born November 10, 2009 in Amersfoort

Father: Alexander Mother: Indra

Her name means "little one".

Kina is the second child of Indra, but she lost her first one shortly after birth (killed by her and her mother Khine War War). She's is the first elephant born in the brand new inside enclosure of Amersfoort Zoo - opened a few weeks before her birth. Because of the killing of her brother in 2007 her granmother was not present when she fell on the sandfloor of her new home. Chit Mimi, the favorite "aunt" of Indra was the the first to greet the newborn while Khine War War was separated in one of the boxes.
