Two questions about large mammals, pregnancy, and zoos

[Skald_the_Rhymer]

How frequently do elephants, rhinos, hippos, and giraffes suffer breech births?

If this happens in captivity, what can a veterinarian do to save mother and child?

No special reason for the questions.

ETA: I suppose the first question is actually four. Ah well.

I don’t know about exotic animals, but cows sometimes need James Herriott to stick his hand up in there and fiddle around. Sometimes with a rope.

These days it’s a job for Mike Rowe.
