Miracle Baby Elephant

'Miracle' baby elephant takes first steps

He's alive! This made me so happy today.

Just last week we were at the Taronga Zoo checking out the elephants, including 8 month old Luk Chai. The keepers were so excited about another baby being due.

I hope he keeps doing so well. He's walked about some and touched trunks with the other elephants. \o/ Just lovely!

And while we're on the topic:

Luk Chai (8-month-old male elephant) two weeks ago during bath time. He's too big for the bath, so they're training him to stand still and be scrubbed like the big elephants. And afterward he still gets to play in his bath. *points at vid* We were watching and I had my camera. Enjoy!

Wasn't that the best news!:D I mean, it's such a feat that they're being born at all, so after the initial sad news of him dying in the womb, it really was a miracle \o/

And that *points to vid* is the cutest thing EVER!
