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

Melbourne Zoo’s Elephant Calf at 5… Days!

Posted in ,

At only 5 days old, Melbourne Zoo‘s latest addition is already frolicking in her enclosure, and while mother and calf are doing well, this remains a critical time for the baby. The pair will stay off-exhibit for a few days yet, but you can follow her development at the Zoo’s Baby Elephant Blog.

    She has got the big wide CrazyEyes. It’s almost as if she’s saying “OMG!” to everything she sees.
