Australia's elephant calf Mr Shuffles, whose successful birth after being pronounced dead during labour caused a nationwide sensation, was renamed Pathi Harn, meaning "miracle" in Thai, on Thursday. The elephant, whose nickname came from his unsteady walk, was blessed in a Thai naming ceremony at Sydney's Taronga Zoo just two weeks after cheating death.
