Htoo Yin Aye

 

Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)

Female, born August 5, 1981 in Myanmar (Birma).

Her name means: Handsome Lady.

Arrived in Emmen June 27, 1988.

Htoo Yin Aye is a bit of a loner, and is often seen outside the herd. She's also cheerful and the bravest, doing only what she likes. Nobody tells her what to do.

After the birth of Bo Gyi she took care for him since his mother wouldn't accept him. It was a suprise for everybody to see Htoo Yin Aye with the baby.

Her first baby, Ma Palai, was born on March 8, 1998. Four years later she had a son: Than Myang. After the arrival of Radza, there are a lot of rumours buzzing about a possible pregnancy.
