For the first time since 1980, rare twin elephants have been born at the Amboseli National Park in Kenya. 

The two calves — a male and a female — were born at the end of May during the rain season. The 38 year-old Mother Paru is part of a 40-member family. 

The park, which lies at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, is currently home to 1,600 elephants divided into almost 60 families.
