"Adorable Sumatran elephant calf Diah tucked into a birthday fruit cake at Batu Secret Zoo in Indonesia's Malang on Tuesday, marking her first birthday. Footage shows Diah devouring the fruit cake together with her mother and other elephants and visitors singing the birthday song for the Sumatran elephant calf, a species native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Dimas Andika, one of the visitors, said that events like these are important to spread awareness about endangered species such as the Sumatran elephant. "Celebrations like this help broaden our horizons regarding the protection of wildlife and remind us not to engage in poaching," Andika said. Public Relations Manager of Jawa Timur Park Group, Titik S. Ariyanto, hailed Diah's growth as a remarkable achievement. "We take great pride in successfully breeding this nearly extinct species," Ariyanto said. "We named this baby elephant Diah, which in Sanskrit means 'shining' or 'light,' and she is currently thriving." Jawa Timur Park 2, a wildlife conservation institution in Indonesia, has been working to breed and conserve Indonesia's endemic species. The event highlights a significant achievement for the zoo's conservation and breeding programmes for this critically endangered species."
