Sept 04, Colombo: The 46th elephant cub born in Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka recently was ceremoniously named today as Vidula.

The elephant cub received the name after a children’s radio channel initiated by the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation (SLBC) recently. The elephant cub got the name Vidula on the request of the pioneer of the radio channel, Sunil Sarath Perera, the Director General of SLBC.

Vidula was born to Sapumalee last week. He is the 82nd member of the elephant family in captivity at the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.
