For the first time in the history of the country, twin baby elephants were born at the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage today.

A spokesman from the Pinnawala Orphanage said the female elephant 'Surangi' had given birth to twin baby elephants.

He said both baby elephants are male elephants and the first was born at 4.00a.m and the second was born at 12.00 p.m.

Meanwhile, a senior official of the Wild life Department said this twin elephant birth was the first birth in Sri Lankan history among registered domesticated elephants. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

Please find out if these babies will be taken away from their mom and sold to the highest payer, into work slavery?

Sri Lanka has made a history. Best wishes for mum and babies. Please look after them well. I do not like to see chains on the legs of the mum.... Let her now feel bit of freedom and liberty after giving birth two gorgeous babies. But I know it is not practical but it i s my wish.

Is it a blessing for RW and the UNP or the runaway group led by Sajith. This could be a bad omen for the government. Let us watch
