Funny that a mere 200# (!) baby could look tiny and fragile.
Love baby elephants, rhinos, and hippos!

Awwww....so cute! A whole lot more appealing than the constant quotes and photos of the quartet of America’s enemies...Schmattahead, Horseteeth, Pigmouth, and their newest adherent, Stress-me Pressley.

Fun Fact:
Elephant and Giraffe mothers are known for protecting and nurturing their offspring. Several other mammals are not.
Panda Bears, Tigers, Wolves, Rodents and even the ‘kindly’ Dolphin will frequently decide to kill, if not devour their young.

If they did it that frequently, they wouldn't exist. Most animals try to protect their young, though few do it as long as elephants, which take about as long to mature and become independent as humans.

Lovely little creature. My heart breaks about elephants being endangered animals. Who wants to live in a world without elephants? Not me.

Revised to conform to current PC standards:

ADORABLE: A zoo in Austria introduced a THEYby non-binary elephant Thursday. They was born five days ago and weighed about 198 pounds at birth. The elephant was assigned the female gender at birth, but we will have to wait 18 years to find out theys real gender, at which time gender reassignment surgery will start, if needed.

They doesn’t have a name yet, but the public can vote on what it should be.

Watch as they stumbles after theys parent-A in the zoo’s enclosure.

Gorillas will occasionally commit infanticide or murder, also, as documented by Jane Goodall.
