1. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. He's all wobbly...

I love baby elephants. Isn't it funny how every animal baby is adorable?

2. not EVERY baby animal

[Rhythm]

3. Don't know what the slimy one is in the second pic,

but the squacky ones in the first one still qualify as 'cute', in that "so ugly they're..." way.

4. I agree. The first picture is cute.

I admit that the baby in the second picture is a nightmare.

7. Those birds look like Muppets.

That caterpiller is baby Mothra.

5. OMG... wanna go to P'burgh now...

I remember many years ago getting to see a new baby at the DC zoo (Kumari) when she was just a couple of weeks old...

6. She can't quite figure out what to do with that appendage on her face.

Really amazing. Baby animals pop out and boom, they're walking. It takes humans practically forever to learn to walk.

10. Well, living in the wild they need to get moving with the herd

Or get left behind for jackals to attack.
Cute little guy.

11. That's my favorite part of baby elephants

They alternate between ":wtf:" and ":woohoo:, neato!" with their trunks.

I wish they had elephants that were always that size...I'd have like a hundred. :D :bounce: :loveya:

8. Wow. That's really cute.

:)

Watching that baby elephant move one leg at a time learning how to walk is adorable. I'll bet the zoo gets a surge in visitors.
