If you haven’t seen the latest arrival to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium yet this week, get ready to fall in love! On July 23, a brand new baby Asian elephant calf<\/strong> was born to mom, Sunny, and she weighed in at 215 pounds.<\/p>\n

After the initial birth announcement<\/a>, the zoo shared a new update on how the little calf is doing on TikTok, and it’s safe to say everyone is absolutely delighted.<\/p>\n

The zoo explained: “The team has one word to describe her: ADORABLE. She is nursing well and enjoys her nap time, too. She is also comfortable straying from Mom a little bit to say hello to the care team!”<\/p>\n

Trust me, this precious baby will instantly steal your heart!<\/p>\n

Isn’t she just the sweetest? In the caption, the zoo also let everyone know that mama is also doing very well after the birth.<\/p>\n

They said, “Her mom, Sunny, is also doing great. She is settling into motherhood very well and is very attentive to her baby\u2019s needs.”They also went on to praise the care team who helped bring this new life into the world:<\/p>\n

“Sunny\u2019s pregnancy lasted nearly two years\u2014and through it all, her dedicated care team was by her side every step of the way. That trust made all the difference during the birth, creating a calm, smooth experience for both mom and baby. Thanks to their tireless work and deep bond with Sunny, this little calf entered the world surrounded by compassion, expertise, and purpose. We\u2019re so grateful for their role in helping to protect this endangered species\u2014and for making moments like this possible.”<\/p>\n

Another added, “OMG. I\u2019m crying. She\u2019s so beautiful.”<\/p>\n

So far, the zoo hasn’t released this little girl’s name, but we know whatever they choose, it’ll be just perfect.<\/p>\n

As for when the public will be able to see her? The zoo replied to a comment on the video and said, “She is not publicly viewable yet. Stay tuned to our social media channels for her debut announcement!”<\/p>\n
