Yindee is Mintra’s first baby, his name is mean ” Pleasure”. He was born at 00.20am on the 24th August 2013.  The newborn was a healthy 108.30 kilograms, 97 centimeters tall and 99 centimeters long. His mother is the young female elephant, Mintra. She is a former street begging elephant who was hit by a car when she was just 4 years old.
