See adorable twin elephants born at Syracuse zoo (www.syracuse.com)

Zoo director explains why second elephant was a surprise and talks about the births of the 220-plus pound baby elephants.

As two of Syracuse’s beloved Asian elephants headed outside Friday morning at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo, there was a buzz in the air from the crowd gathering in the viewing area.

Underneath a female named Mali jogged a tiny pair of fuzzy babies, trying to keep up.

Tiny is relative of course; each of the baby elephants weighs over 215 pounds.
