This adorable elephant calf was born at 2:17 a.m. today at the Oregon Zoo. If her cute little elephant beard isn’t enough to brighten up your dreary Friday, well, consider the fact that no matter how crappy your day might seem, you almost certainly didn’t spend the past 30 hours in labor with a 300-pound baby. Props to her mom, 18-year-old elephant Rose-Tu, and welcome to the world, little(ish) one! [Oregon Zoo]

Doing The Baby Elephant Walk
Fact: baby animals learning to walk look like drunks. Drunks or teenagers on acid. But cuter! Like this baby elephant taking his first baby elephant steps ever! (Extra points for small British child yelling out in the background “It’s a baaaaaaaby!”) [YouTube]
