The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
Melbourne Zoo's Asian Elephant Kulab gave birth to a male calf at 10.30 am yesterday. He is the first-ever male calf to be born at Melbourne Zoo. He weighs 142.2kg (315lbs) which is very heavy for a new born elephant. He is built very much like his father (Bong Su), with long legs and a broad head. Everyone at Melbourne Zoo is very excited by this new addition to the family.

Thats one tough elephant..
I love how the mother elephant is so comfortable with the humans being around her new baby. Some animals you have to isolate the mother and young, but zoo elephants seem very laid back about people being near their newborns.
What a big boy! Mom looks a little tired in the eyes:) Good to see her getting lotsa love from the keepers!!!
