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

Posted in ,

Now almost seven months old, the Taronga Zoo's animated little elephant calf, Luk Chai, is growing up to be more than a handful. Thanks to keeper Bobby Jo Vial, we have these wonderful photos of Luk Chai taken a few months back.

    ahhh I love that little boy… that’s not actually his mum, it’s one of his ‘aunties’ – they’re all so unbelievably patient with him! and he’ll be getting a little brother or sister very soon!

    I’ve just discovered a link to your website. It’s lovely to see these great photos of Luk Chai’s progress. I was mesmerised by this little elephant when I visited Taranga Zoo at the end of December 2009, on holiday from the UK.
