The St. Louis Zoo is now the proud owner of a brand new baby elephant!!

This cutie baby girl was born to Ellie, a 42-year-old Asian Elephant.

The calf is approximately 38 inches tall and weighs 251lbs.

The curator of mammals at the zoo said:
"The baby appears healthy and is already walking around well. As an experienced mother and grandmother, Ellie was very nurturing, caring for her newborn baby from the very beginning. She did a great job."

What a blessing!!


Because Asian elephants are endangered, every newborn is a gift!! Congrats, mama Ellie!
