vuurvogel Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Knowing this is a coaster forum I still had to share this with you. This morning (10 november 2009) at 4.30 GMT (5.30 local time) we welcomed a new member of our zoo. DierenPark Amersfoort, in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. She is adorable. The baby is very small (for an elephant) and has to step on her toes to get a drink. But pictures say more then words. UPDATE: HER NAME IS KINA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwm1444 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 That is the cutest thing. Elephants are pretty much my favourite animal, so thanks for posting these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 For some reason, I thought baby elephants were bigger than that, but I guess not. Very cool. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric A normal size baby elephant will be around 100kg This one is very small, around 70kg. So you are right, normally baby elephants are a bit bigger.

Cameron Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Oh man I love elephants, and that baby is so cute - I just want to hug him! Thanks so much for the awesome pictures, everyone at the zoo must be so completely thrilled. And of course I instantly thought of the classic Chuck Jones cartoon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKoNSYFzA_k "But I did see an elephant in my birdbath!" .. "Of course you did - I keep a giraffe in mine!" Cameron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 That's good to see. Sadly, Memphis Zoo had a baby elephant for a day or so, and then the mother accidentally gored it with her tusks while trying to help it. There are a few zoo enthusiasts here, particularly ones involving trains. Thanks for putting this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursemelis374 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 That is freakin' adorable! I wish elephants were born at my work, we just have actual babies born here and they are rarely that cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
