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

Posted in ,

Melbourne Zoo's first Asian Elephant calf remains in the elephant barn with her mother Dokkoon. The birth was difficult and exhausting for Dokkoon who has spent the first week since her calf was born recovering. The calf is alert, active and playful, however, this is still a critical period for the newborn calf. Both mum and baby are still being monitored round the clock by Zoo staff.

    Keep careful watch on Dokkoon (of course you will). That rambunctious girl will need a mothers handling. Beautiful baby and great pictures.
