17h agoA baby elephant has been named the Thai
word for 'queen' at the United Kingdom’s largest zoo in honor of its late
patron, Queen Elizabeth II.
The calf is called Nang Phaya which means
queen or strong, female monarch.
Queen Elizabeth II, who passed over two
weeks ago, once met the calf's mum, Donna, when she opened the zoo's Center for
Elephant Care in 2017.
A photograph of the queen feeding Donna a
banana was featured on her official Christmas card that year.
