The thing that gets me is that without the fence in the background, you’d have very few visual cues about the lil’ critter’s size. If it weren’t for the lack of tusks, I’d have a little trouble placing just how old he/she was.

But… she’s all fuzzy!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaah! Ickle wickle heffalump baby!

Maybe they’re so cute because they are born so very big, yet have the manners of an infant. Lots of anthropomorphism going on too.

Anyone else gonna have that “Elephant Walk” song running through their head all day?

jjimm, “Ickle wickle” <----------?!? ROFL

I love wittle baby ewwefants toooooooo!

Strangely, because the last time I heard that song was in a Shenzhen karaoke bar, I now have the image of two elderly Chinese prostitutes doing the Elephant Walk dance running through my head.

I saw Chai a few months ago. She is much bigger now.

Aww! :):):slight_smile:

Chai is her mother
Hausa just turned two (but is still cute)

Oh great, now that you mentioned that, I’m going to be thinking all day about Disney’s Dexter Riley movies starring Kurt Russell .

Awwwwwww…that is so adorable!

I’ll see you and raise you. When I go to Sri Lanka in March, we’ll be visiting …

an elephant orphanage. Where they usually have 50-100 baby elephants at any given time.

I think the trunk is smaller than adult elephants and the eyes larger.

I saw a herd dig out a baby that fell into a waterhole on animal planet. A group effort. Cool.

False_God , do you know how jealous I am? Be sure to take lots of pictures so that you can torture us with them

And I’m afraid now, as everyone who knows me will tell you, I’m going to get out the baby giraffe picture

Just look at his little face.

Elephants are not cute.

You’re right. They’re gorgeous!
