Like any expectant mother, Panang the elephant wants the very best for her baby, which is evident as she carefully performs her maternity exercises.

Guided by her minder Andi Fries, the 20-year-old elephant did a series of stretches in her pen at the Tierpark Hellabrunn Zoo in Munich.

Panang, who is nearing the end of her two-year gestation period, is due to give birth this month or next.

Zoo keepers are anxious about the birth as Panang has been pregnant twice before – but both calves were stillborn.

Wow, who knew elephant births were so complicated. I hope the training helps this time and hopefully they'll do a follow up article after the birth.

I'm so glad humans aren't pregnant for two years.

Good luck to her. :)
