Hello, here's the first video of Elebaba.
Ele spots the cam, curious, then moves away looking for food. Also a quick preview of the new enclosure I set up in December 2010.
Enjoy!

Ahh, its name.. Hoho! thats the curious bit about Ele.
Ele - as in Elephant. (after the very first Indian star I had when I was little)

Hmmm, according to what I've read on the species, 28 - 40 cm for males; 24 - 35 cm for females.
They get much bigger than russians, and not forgetting the high dome the radiateds have.
