The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in ,

According to Toronga Zoo keepers, 5-month-old Luk Chai, Australia's first Elephant calf, is on the fast track to adulthood. Not too fast though! Keepers have begun teaching him simple elephant words–indications and directions on where to stand and in which direction to walk–by rewarding the youngster with sweet treats like raisins and apples. While the calf is learing fast, there's still plenty of time for play, as demonstrated by these images from J9Fabre.
