Rare elephant twins born in Kenya

Elephants rarely give birth to more than one calf at a time, but for the second time this year in Kenya a pair of twin baby elephants have been spotted.

Kenya's national wildlife body announced the news of the birth on Tuesday.

It says the pair were born in Aberdare National Park in central Kenya. Back in January, safari guides spotted another pair of twin baby elephants further north, in Kenya's Samburu reserve.

Before that the last known case was in 2006, according to Save the Elephants.

The conservation charity says elephant twins account for only 1% of elephant births.
