Twin Baby Elephants Squabble Over Bagel at Syracuse Zoo

A set of baby Asian elephant twins squabbled over pieces of bagel tossed into their enclosure at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York.

The zoo called the twins’ birth last October a “miracle” as elephant twins are very rare, they said.
