Must be of Nyoka. She already had two babies, the last one in 2005 (Panzi). While the other female, Dudu, still hasn't got anyone.

They already tried Diptelogaster maximus on various species, including tapirs and seal-lions. It seems to work pretty well, although some animals developed the tendency to eat each other's bug...

Regarding the elephants in Boras: It`s Dudu who had 2 female calves and I guess it`s her who is pregnant again, because the older female Nyoka only had a miscarriage/stillbirth.
